Often times being a congressman can be a thankless job.  Youbet.com has made sure that Barney Frank does not feel this way, at least this time around.  Youbet.com, by far the largest legal pure play betting site in the United States, took time out to make sure the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee new how much he was appreciated for his role in protecting personal freedom.  Congressman Frank’s bill to regulate and legalize online casinos is more than just great news for the Internet gambling industry, it represents a member of the government going out on a limb to fight for rights to which he feels all American citizens are entitled.

“Chairman Frank's bill is a welcome and realistic approach to U.S. Internet gambling,” said Youbet.com CEO, Michael Brodsky.

“Illegal U.S. online gambling is a growing multi-billion dollar industry. Chairman Frank's bill recognizes those realities and would bring this underground activity into the light - regulating it to prevent underage gambling and help problem gamblers, recognizing the personal freedom rights of American adults to gamble online if they so choose, safeguarding their winnings and providing much-needed revenue in these difficult economic times.”

Youbet.com is something of an oddity as a US publicly traded online gambling company.  The company only offers horse race betting, which is the only fully legal online gambling activity in the United States.  However, as an already existing US based online gambling company, Youbet.com would like to stand out as an example of how online casinos can offer safe, regulated, and responsible gambling experiences to US citizens over the Internet.
