“All I want for Christmas is Regulation in the United States,” said the little online casino to the United States Congress.  It would only make sense for online casinos, an already well established industry internationally, would be legalized and regulated in the United States.  All that is need now is for the majority online casino friendly Congress to introduce and pass a bill making the dream of all little online casinos come true.

The Bush administration has not been very friendly to online casinos.  The Bush years have seen disasters like the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, a virtually unenforceable bill that succeeded in scaring most reputable online casinos away from the United States market.

After the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was passed back in 2006, two years later came the lame implementation during the lame duck session.  Again the vague and hurried law received vague and hurried implementation that only succeed in spreading fear, a tactic the Bush administration has mastered.

On a state level, there were embarrassments like the Kentucky nightmare, were a governor attempted to seize the domain name of 141 online casinos if they did not block Kentucky residents.  This over step of power lead to US players losing Microgaming online casinos.   

However, Santa brought the gift of hope a few week early in November when Barack Obama was elected the next president.  Obama is not clearly pro online casinos, but he is not apart of the Republican Party that included anti online casino language in their party platform.  There is also the promise of the largely democratic Congress and the floating of bills aimed at overturning the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.
