A poll shows the public may not be behind regulating online casino a top gaming analyst suggests that is due to misinformation and lack of education on the subject which conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University shows that two-thirds of the population believes the law shouldn't be changed to allow legal online casino and other forms of gambling online. This means that at least all those who responded that way think there's already a law in place that makes online casino gaming illegal., while in fact no such law exists. The poll shows that certain urban myths and prejudices about online gambling have been shouted by demagogues, and then repeated by uneducated media, to the point that the general public accepts them for truth, according to OCA gaming analyst Sherman Bradley.
In his interview, OCA gaming analyst Sherman Bradley pointed out that over 65% said they had entered a casino in the last year, meaning a significant portion had accepted the disproved theories about the harmfulness of online gambling. Scientific study has consistently proved that, despite expectations otherwise, Internet betting is far less likely to lead to problem gambling than other forms.
"The poll shows that respondents have a strong positive image of practically every specific casino location, identifying the cities as favorable by a margin consistently better than two-to-one, "Yet they also say that vague, unidentified 'casinos' have negative effects, That means that, when presented with evidence in a particular case, they know casinos are doing good, but gambling still carries a mystique of shadiness." Said OCA gaming analyst Sherman Bradley.
It is no secret that the US government has been fighting online casino and other forms of gambling over the Internet since as early as 1997. Both the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act of 1997 and the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act of 1999 were failed attempts at nipping the industry in the bud. But not until the UIGEA did the federal government have any success in the fight, whatsoever. But they ultimately failed again, forcing otherwise reputable online casino establishments, online funds transfer firms, and online gamblers, themselves, to find loopholes in the laws.
As a result, those US players, who otherwise have been under hard times financially, have attempted to save money on lavish vacations to gambling cities, choosing to playing at online casino and sports betting sites in their homes, at a much cheaper rate. These hardworking and honest Americans are forced to break the law and send their US dollars overseas, on a daily basis.
