For many years the Federal and state governments in the United States have attempted to curtail the rights of gaming consumers while bolstering coffers with expanded slots, horse racing and poker offerings in many states.
We all sat by in 2006 and enabled legislators to pass the UIGEA. There had been so many failed attempts over the
past several years by Senators Kyle, Goodlatte, Frist and others that as a collective group we did not make our voices heard. This is where the OSGA comes in. On behalf of the Internet gambling community, we are working to enable the freedom to choose where we would like to gamble. Show support for your online rights today!
Generally speaking, the OSGA opposes any legislative effort to ban Internet
gambling. In addition, we do support recent legislation to examine Internet
gambling and its impact on the American people. We also urge Americans to
support recent legislation by Barney Frank (D-Mass.) to repeal the UIGEA.
We no longer will sit by and wait for someone else to voice their opinion! We
have all of the tools necessary for you to contact your Senators and
Representatives in Congress. You can write letters, follow bills or simply join
our action network.
