Bingo: Anti-UIGEA bill notches up ten supporters

By Go-Bingo - online bingo news on May 5, 2008 3:20 PM |

The anti-Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) bill introduced last April 10 by US Congressmen Barney Frank and Ron Paul has already garnered the support of ten co-sponsors.

The Frank/Paul bill seeks to stop implementation of the notorious UIGEA which saw many non-US gaming companies, including bingo, forced out of the US market.  The progress being made by the new bill signals a promising turn of events for online bingo games operators and online bingo halls hoping for a return to the lucrative US online gaming market.   

Frank and Paul put the new bill before Congress after a hearing by the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy, Trade, and Technology that demonstrated the pitfalls and problems with implementing UIGEA.
