20 April 2007

Online gambling lobbyists scheduled to meet with Financial Services Committee

Latest activity report on the proposed challenge to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in the USA (see previous InfoPowa reports) is that a meeting between Financial Services Committee politicians and online gambling lobbyists regarding a strategy for the repeal initiative is to take place in Washington DC today (Thursday).

News of the meeting was broken by the gambling information portal Gambling911, which earlier revealed that several major portals have been discussing the way forward for a collaborative effort aimed at mustering player and industry support for Congressman Barney Frank's initiative to repeal the UIGEA. Industry representatives met on Tuesday this week to discuss these efforts and come up with a decisive plan.
