NEW YORK, April 27 /PRNewswire/ - Sportingbet PLC CEO Nigel Payne is
available to comment on today's announcement by the American Gaming
Association (AGA) recommending the creation of a one-year Congressional
study commission that would evaluate the effects of online gambling in the
United States.
American tax collectors are losing out on billions of revenue dollars
because they do not recognize this lucrative and booming industry. And, the
US government refuses to license and regulate this rapidly expanding
entertainment industry, thus missing out on the opportunity to collect
taxes and ensure responsible gaming.
As the CEO of the world's leading publicly traded online betting,
gambling and gaming company, Nigel can speak to numerous topics, including:
- Why regulation of online gambling is the best thing for the internet
gaming industry
- How regulating the internet gaming industry will benefit the American
public
- How online gaming companies use state of the art technology to impose
betting limits and identify underage and problem gamblers
- The popularity of gambling online
