Anti-UIGEA bill notches up ten supporters - Online Bingo News
May 5, 2008
The anti-Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) bill introduced last April 10 by US Congressmen Barney Frank and Ron Paul has already garnered the support of ten co-sponsors.
The Frank/Paul bill seeks to stop implementation of the notorious UIGEA which saw many non-US gaming companies forced out of the US market. The progress being made by the new bill signals a promising turn of events for online bingo games operators and online bingo halls hoping for a return to the lucrative US online gaming market.
Frank and Paul put the new bill before Congress after a hearing by the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy, Trade, and Technology that demonstrated the pitfalls and problems with implementing UIGEA.
