AMERICAN GAMING ASSOCIATION CALLS FOR COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY INTO ONLINE GAMING
Sportingbet quick off the mark in offering Nigel Payne for interviews
The publicity guys at Sportingbet were ahead of the field this week in linking an announcement by the American Gaming Association with the availability for interviews of their high profile CEO Nigel Payne.
Yesterday's announcement by the American Gaming Association (AGA) recommended the creation of a one-year Congressional study commission that would evaluate the effects of online gambling in the United States, something which responsible US politicians like Rep. John Connors has been suggesting for some time as an alternative to a precipitous ban on the $12 billion industry.
Nigel Payne says that American tax collectors are losing out on billions of revenue dollars because they do not recognise this lucrative and booming industry. And, the US government refuses to license and regulate it, thus missing out on the opportunity to collect taxes and ensure responsible gaming.
Payne has offered himself for media interviews in which he is prepared to address:
- Why regulation of online gambling is the best thing for the internet gaming industry
- How regulating the internet gaming industry will benefit the American public
- How online gaming companies use state of the art technology to impose betting limits and identify underage and problem gamblers
- The popularity of gambling online
