67 PERCENT OF AMERICANS WANT ONLINE CASINO GAMBLING LEGALISED
But more details on this online casino and gambling study would give it better credibility
The majority of Americans would like to see legalised i-gaming in the States, according to a recent poll conducted by Scooop.net, a media site with marketing and PR ownership interests that puts forward contentious subjects on which Internet visitors can vote.
Scooop has just released the results of its weekly hot topic poll regarding the nation's view on whether U.S. based casinos should be granted the right to run online casino gaming web sites.
When asked if the federal government should legalise online gaming so that U.S. companies can participate, 67 percent of Americans said yes.
The problem with this survey is that it is run by a company related to a PR group, and it doesn't give any indication/authentication of the sample - the numbers of people who actually voted or were interviewed.
Nevertheless, it confirms what most players have known for awhile - online casino gambling should be legalised in the States.
When asked how people personally feel about online casino gaming, the responses were mixed. Of those surveyed, 33.7 percent said that they wouldn't play an online game themselves but it should be legal for U.S. companies to compete with foreign casinos. An additional 33.9 percent said that they like online casino games and would like to play them if they wanted to.
It is clear that most people agree that they would feel more secure gambling online using a U.S. based casino. Nearly two thirds of those surveyed would feel safer playing in a U.S. based, online casino because they would be regulated by U.S. law. Only 3.4 percent of those surveyed stated that they would rather play in an International, online casino.
Interestingly enough, a majority of those surveyed feel that the federal government should allow online casino gaming but stay out of the oversight of the industry. Of those polled, 53.7 percent say that the U.S. government should stay out of regulating Internet activity by U.S. citizens, including online gaming, since the Internet is really a borderless community that crosses international lines.
