NO U.S. BAN THIS YEAR
Anti-online gambling legislation pipped at the post again
American media reports revealed this week that the U.S. Senate halted all pending anti gambling bills on December 12th. The U.S. Senate adopted an adjournment resolution which concluded the 108th Congress, leaving this year's attempts to ban U.S. web gambling out of time.
H.R. 21, H.R. 2143, and S. 627 have all effectively been "killed" by the adjournment, and any prohibition legislation will have to start the process from scratch with introduction and committee referral in the 109th Congress in 2005. Meanwhile. startling positive developments such as the UK Gambling Bill are changing the face of a global and growing industry that the American Gaming Association currently estimates at over $5 billion per year. That amount is expected to triple within the next five years according to some analysts.
