Is scheduled for Wednesday July 21 the discussion about online poker called “Internet Gambling Regulation Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act” to be held at the headquarters of the House Financial Services Committee U.S..
Dscussione is the theme of the bill, submitted by the Chairman of the Commission Barney Frank, for market regulation of betting and online poker in the USA. It seems that finally something has moved within the American system that finally, at least of great surprises, try to make a move that could lead to the coffers of the state several million dollars.
The proposal reads on Agipronews is well supported by 69 political between Democrats and Republicans and is observed with special attention by the Poker Player Alliance and the game industry in general, after June 1 is the entry into force of the Deadline ‘UIGEA which required banks to block all transactions between players and poker sites.
It seems clear the new strategy applied to the online games market by American authority, if you can not beat an opponent You have them ally. It ‘was this the motto of Jim McDermott, representing the seventh congressional district of Washington and a member of the Democratic Party, which had anticipated all advancing the idea of a new law to counter the flop came with the UIGEA Deadline.
McDermott proposed a new regulation, called the Internet Gambling Regulation and Tax Enforcement Act (IGRTEA), with the idea of creating a tax system that deal with various tax laws all companies that offer poker and online gambling in the territory of USA, regolamentarizzare virtually the entire market.
Under this new bill all online gaming companies licensed by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) should pay a tax of 2 percent on all funds deposited by players online. Following this new tax regime McDermott estimated a revenue for the state of over 25 billion dollars for the first five years after enactment.
The new tax in this way would be paid solely by the operator of the game on the Internet and would not be deducted from the deposit of the player. The idea is not at all displeased at the highest political leaders who have recognized the failure that UIGEA has not only increased the numbers of online gambling illegal.
Even the PPA (Poker Players Alliance) had tried to warn the authorities that the Deadline implemented with the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act would never be effective because it could act bans some small adjustments.
In addition, the UIGEA, which is water on all sides, was never really defined a national law because in some places the law in question refers to the decisions of a network of federal, state, local and tribal peoples to determine what is permission.
Finally it seems that American policy has noticed that this law should not be any good and that everyone, players and managers who, calling for liberalization of online gambling in the U.S., given the repeated failures also obtained from those who want to permanently lock .
