(US).- The American Gaming Association (AGA) supports the licensing and regulation of online poker in the US. Although the AGA has not endorsed any specific legislation on this issue, it said it is pleased that Representative Barton wants to protect American consumers and understands the need for regulating online poker in the United States.
“The millions of Americans who are playing poker online deserve to know they are playing safely with law-abiding operators, but strong enforcement of illegal operators and unambiguous U.S. laws governing online gambling are equally vital,” AGA statement said.
“We look forward to continuing to work toward a solution that will meet these two goals and keep the jobs and revenues associated with this billion-dollar industry in the United States,” AGA added.
