Talking Points
  • Technology has progressed to effectively combat problem gambling and ensure that players are of legal age.

  • Billions in potential tax revenue from online poker are being lost under the UIGEA.

  • Appropriate federal regulation can ensure that minors are kept out of sites, services are provided to problem gamblers and the proper taxes are collected.

  • Prohibitions don't work. The UIGEA effectively bans online poker in the U.S. and drives those players underground. Meanwhile, poker continues to grow in popularity nationwide. 75 percent of Americans oppose banning online poker.

  • If Congress allows me to bet on horses and state lotteries online, why can't I play a skill game like poker with other consenting adults?

  • Please co-sponsor and support HR 2046 "Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act" and HR 2610 "Skill Game Protection Act".
