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.
