I do not see any documentation or any sources for what they claim to be 'facts'.
Why, Gambling911, of course.

How are the taxpayers (gamblers or not) paying for this? It's not like it's costing them anything.
You're not even in America, at least you have the choice to gamble where and when you want.
The banks have already said time and time again that they simply CANNOT implement what the DoJ is asking of them in trying to enforce the UIGEA. They're in bad enough shape already, and have more important things to worry about, plain and simple.
he Act was passed at midnight on the day Congress adjourned for the 2006 elections. Though a bill with the gambling wording was previously debated and passed by the House of Representatives,[4][5][6] the SAFE Port Act (H.R. 4954) as passed by the House on May 4th (by a vote of 421-2) and the United States Senate on September 14th (98-0),[7] bore no traces of the Unlawful Internet Gambling and Enforcement Act that was included in the SAFE Port Act signed into law by George W. Bush on October 13th, 2006.[8] The UIGEA was added in Conference Report 109-711 (submitted at 9:29pm on September 29, 2006), which was passed by the House of Representatives by a vote of 409-2 and by the Senate by unanimous consent on September 30, 2006. Due to H.RES.1064, the reading of this conference report was waived.
By referring perhaps insultingly to " pro online gambling "propaganda" I take it you are referring to any opinion that does not happen to coincide with your own view of the industry's prospects in America?
And where do you see in this discussion the prospect that a legalised American market would make it harder for the player to deposit? Quite the contrary, I would suggest.
A visit to a B&M may well be your personal solution, but I would suggest that one of the reasons for the success of the Internet gambling sector has been its convenience and accessibility for those that want to play - either on the move or from their own private locations. If you add US legitimacy and proper regulation to that it is a solid combination, imo.
The industry certainly provides a wider choice for the player in terms of where to play (careful dd assumed) and the games that are available.
I'm not personally as sanguine about the prospects of Barney Frank's bill being successful as some out there, but I hold the view that, if it were, it would definitely be a benefit to players and a major step forward for the industry in terms of improved professionalism and integrity.
spiderlegz said:What I consider as "pro online gambling" propaganda are the falsariums that it would boost the economy, that the states would benefit from the tax revenue and that the regulation actually would work.
NGISC (National Gambling Impact Study Commission) and it's contractors reported that legalized gambling, especially in casinos, has resulted in an increased number of jobs in communities and decreased the unemployment rate...
And up until the economic collapse earlier this year that number just kept growing and growing...In 1996 the legalized gambling industry employed more than one half a million people with total salaries of over $15 Billion.
Before Atlantic City legalized and regulated B&M casinos there were a LOT of people that were saying just what you are, it would not improve the economy there and only hurt the business and the people... That turned out to be completely absolutely and utterly false.
In the first ten years after legalization Atlantic City's Economy more than increased by 5x. After twenty years the results are conclusive... Gambling saved the City and the State from a slow decline into a depression.

Here is quote for you
Here is another quote from the NGISC And up until the economic collapse earlier this year that number just kept growing and growing...
Not to mention that the New Jersey State authorities have said repeatedly that legalizing Gambling reduced unemployment and increased the money the State could spend on social programs.
Now this is not some 'study' where some egg heads were burning brain cells SPECULATING... This is historical FACT and can be PROVEN
And the links I have provided are no speculation but mostly academic studies. Try reading them.
....Representative Frank has repeatedly urged American online gamblers to get behind his latest attempt to overturn the UIGEA by communicating with their politicial representatives and urging them to support the bill.
