"Reaching this milestone illustrates that momentum is growing for a shift in U.S. policy and a rewrite of U.S. Internet gambling laws. The list of supporters will continue to grow as more representatives are educated on the subject and increasingly hear from their constituents that online gambling regulation presents the only viable way to protect consumers, since attempts to prohibit the activity have completely failed. We also expect an increased spotlight on Internet gambling as a way to augment federal revenues and help cover the cost of necessary policy initiatives." said Jeffrey Sandman, spokesperson for the Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative.
