  • Casinos Cautioned Over Mixed Messages on Internet Gambling Published on Gamblingcompliance (
    Casinos Cautioned Over Mixed Messages On Internet Gambling Published on GamblingCompliance (http://www.gamblingcompliance.com) Casinos Cautioned Over Mixed Messages On Internet Gambling 02 Aug, 2013 Tony Batt, GamblingCompliance [1] By sending mixed messages to U.S. Congress, the casino industry threatens efforts to pass a strict and comprehensive Internet poker bill, and might provoke a federal crackdown that could shut down the online gaming market, according to a former Republican congressman from Nevada. Jon Porter, a gaming lobbyist who represented Nevada in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2003 to 2009, told GamblingCompliance he was disturbed by inaccurate information conveyed at a July 17 hearing on Internet gambling [2] by the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety and Insurance. Members of the subcommittee and witnesses repeatedly criticized the U.S. Department of Justice for its 2011 decision to reverse its longstanding position [3] that all Internet gambling is illegal under the Interstate Wire Act of 1961. Comments during the hearing linked Internet gambling websites to money laundering, terrorism, drugs, human trafficking and pornography. “The industry needs to be very careful here because Congress has the power to amend the Wire Act and restore the ban on Internet gambling, and I don’t think the industry wants that,” Porter said. As one of the most tightly regulated industries in the United States, casinos should be doing more to collectively educate lawmakers about the safeguards available to protect consumers, according to Porter. He said the online gaming industry’s safeguards are comparable to methods used to protect electronic financial transactions in banking and the purchase of stocks.

Citizens placed Measure 60 on the ballot through the initiative process and then overwhelmingly approved it at the 1998 General Election. Over these past 20 years, we have realized the benefits of increased access and ease of access to the ballot, higher voter turnout, and improved election security because of our first in the nation vote-by-mail system. Today, those benefits continue as over 2.7 million Oregonians will receive a ballot in the mail beginning on October 17. I would like to congratulate the voters of Grant County who had the highest voter turnout at the Primary Election this past May.
