The legalization of Internet gambling in America is controversial

Seeing the state's residents run to other state casinos to contribute taxes to other states, the Washington State government has decided to set up a large gambling site to collect casino games such as "21 points" and to tax online gambling to keep gamblers at home. Rugau, executive director of the state Lottery and charitable Gaming Commission, predicted that the opening of online gambling would increase the government's revenue by 9 million dollars a year, "a big deal for Washington state."　　The U.S. is currently running a high budget deficit. This April, Washington became the first state in the United States to legalize Internet gambling. Currently, similar bills are being studied in California State and Massachusetts, Iowa State.　　Caesar Entertainment, one of the world's largest casino groups, is also reported to be stepping up lobbying the U.S. Congress to promote the legalization of online poker.　　However, the legalization of Internet gambling will encounter the U.S. Justice Department and public opinion of the obstruction. As more than 10 states are promoting the legalization of online gambling, two federal senators wrote to the U.S. Department of Justice last month, calling on them to reverse such actions. In recent years, the U.S. Department of Justice has been a heavy blow to the network gambling, shut down a lot of domestic and foreign gambling sites. The Justice Department insists that all forms of cyber gambling are illegal, but the Federal Communications Act of 1961 has an explanatory space.　　The Act expressly prohibits business from interstate and cross-border gambling, but only refers to gambling in sports competitions, without defining other gambling items.　　In 2006, the US Congress passed the Illegal Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which prohibits companies from benefiting from online gambling. In response, the States are also more cautious.　　California State last year proposed a bill to legalize online poker, but, like many other states, said it would audit the identity of the logged-in person or use technical means to prohibit non-state residents from logging into the state gaming network. After the legalization of Internet gambling, the government can greatly increase the number of questions, the agent of many network gambling companies Aifara said: "In this line, the players are very loyal." Why would they want to leave their trusted global gambling sites and go to anonymous sites? "Internet gambling addiction has also been widely criticized. "This is equivalent to having a small casino in every home, office and dormitory in the United States," said Bono, the head of the "Stop Crush Gambling Foundation", a nonprofit anti-gambling agency. This business model, based on addiction and debt, is immoral. "However, Senator Danielsen, who promotes the legalization of online poker gambling, says the move is to regulate the number of Iowa State online gambling activities." Danielsen said: "Many Iowa are participating, but may not realize it is illegal." We want to create a safe environment to protect consumers.　　"The existing legislation only binds companies, without constraining individuals to participate in online gambling," he said.
