RGA Supports UIGEA ClarificationRemote Gambling Association Backs Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act Clarification |
|
The EU-based Remote Gambling Association has endorsed the UIGEA Clarification Act, set forth earlier this month by Pete Session, the Republican representative from Texas. The Clarification Act (HR 6663) aims to ensure that online gaming operators who withdrew from the US (and did not offer sports betting) after the UIGEA was signed into law will not face federal prosecution.
Clive Hawkswood, the RGA's Chief Executive, said; “Although this is a good sign, unless and until the legislation is passed and comes into force, all EU operators who have ever taken business from the US market are potentially still under threat of prosecution and we will be forced to pursue this matter as far as it needs to go to obtain a sensible solution and fair justice.
As representatives of the EU industry we have nothing but praise for the UIGEA Clarification Act supporters who have acted decisively to rectify an unnecessary and avoidable dispute and safeguard both principles of basic fairness and the trading relationship between the US and the EU.”
