Barack Obama is the first black president-elect of the United States of America.  His administration could be historic for more reasons than just his skin color.  He comes to power at an interesting time in American history.  The country is currently involved in two wars and the economy seems to be getting worse every day.  It will be on the shoulders of President Obama to mend these problems. 

In order to fix the economy, President Obama will need to create new jobs and find new ways of bringing revenues into state and federal coffers.  This is a great sign for online casinos.  During the presidential campaigns, Barack Obama had long been fingered as the candidate most likely to overturn the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.  This law almost erased online casinos in the United States by making it illegal for financial institutions to make transactions with online casinos and Internet gambling sites.

There are many reasons for the Internet gambling industry to put there hope in Obama.  It is well known that Obama was a regular poker player during his time as an Illinois Senator.  Obama’s campaign has also been driven by a focusing on advancements in technology.  He has been an active protector of the Internet and ecommerce. 

Online casinos are a multi billion dollar industry.  The United Kingdom has been very successful in the legalization and regulation of the industry.  The United States was once the biggest market for online casinos and could return to that status if Barack Obama and his supporters in the Congress choose to overturn the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.
