A recent poll conducted by Dickinson University has shown that roughly two-thirds of
the US population still believe that law shouldn’t be changed to allow licensed and
regulated online gambling in the US. Unfortunately, it seems that Americans continues
to believe in the myth that online gambling is illegal on a federal level. Their is
no federal law that makes the act of gambling online a crime in the US.
Their have been so many negative rumors and prejudices againt online gambling by
government politicians, religious groups, and other social organizations over the
last several years. This negative publicity has obviously been etched into the minds
of some Americans. Their has always been concerns over problem gambling and underage
gambling in the online gambling industry, but university and government studies have
already concluded that the industry poses no significant threat to addicts or children.
The main stream media outlets as well as competiting news organizations in the
casino industry should give exposure to the studies done by Harvard Medical School
and other prominent schools that have shown that online gambling poses no real threat
within the United States. As the US government prepares to regulate the online gambling
industry, America will finally learn the truth about this thriving industry.
