USA poker legalisation a long way off
February 17th, 2010 by admin
The person behind worldwide media brand Bodog, Calvin Ayre, believes that it may be at least another decade before the people in control in the US legalize or control online poker for the many millions of American players. Writing on his tabloid blog at CalvinAyre.com, the Canadian said that ‘it would be not likely for the legalisation or regulation of web poker to occur in the next five years and potentially not in the following 10 years’. Though he expected that online poker would ultimately be legalized in the US, Ayre said that public companies would not be permitted to operate sites after being forced out following the passage of the Illegal Web Betting Enforcement Act ( UIGEA ) in 2006. That is, not till they’ve been submitted to some new formal regulatory environment in the United States, wrote Ayre. Once the market has opened up, the structure you have may not be a controversy ; though some of the non-public firms might have got to sell their US-facing operations to a controlled US operator in order to gain unlimited access to ecommerce and advertising.
the 888 deal with Harrah’s proves that being in the USA market before the passing of the UIEGA won’t always be an impairment to future US-facing possibilities. With the publishing of this article, I think my latest prophecy will be put to the test, the test of time, that is. Time will tell who is right…as is always the case. I believe any one making business calls on the presumption or with the hopes of the US market magically opening up in the following couple of years is just wasting their time and they’ll likely miss their rare chance to make good on that break-out pass..
