While you might be thinking that it is strange that in Nevada, of all places, a report sponsored by a gambling provider is considered questionable or illegal, it is more that the practice of online casinos gambling is viewed as illegal both by the state government of Nevada and the federal government of the United States – even though no federal laws are on the books specifically banning the operation of, use of or advertising for online casinos. While the use of online casinos and online poker rooms is widespread across the world, and including in the United States, it is under assault by legislators and governments who consider them to be illegal. Whether this is because it is hard to enforce regulations on online casinos and online poker rooms, or difficult to collect taxes from them, or is for some other reason is of no real consequence – given the uncertainty surrounding the practice of online gambling and online poker rooms and online casinos in the USA there will more than likely be future cases similar to this one. There is pressure from many groups to settle the issue as the record growth in popularity of online casinos and online poker room gambling increases the desires of businesses and affiliates in the United States to gain a foothold and make some money if possible while the market is relatively still young. The decision by the radio station to accept the sponsorship of Party Poker, touting itself as the world’s largest poker room, was made by the radio station and the Metro Networks service, owned by the Westwood One media group based out of New York as the general cloudiness of the legality surrounding online gambling seemed fit to permit the ad and the leadership of Westwood One claimed that they didn’t know such an ad would spark controversy elsewhere. << Back   Copyright 2004 © Online Poker Terminology.
