Reality Sports – Those That the UIGEA Keeps
START
I do not understand where the UIGEA came from.
I get that it is supposed to curb illegal youth gaming (because World of Warcraft is so much better for a 17 year old than poker is.) I get that it is supposed to curb money laundering (because there is obviously nothing illegal going on with the Oil, Coffee and Corn Markets.) I even get that it was supposed to help other gaming industries (because if you play poker online than you obviously would never go to Vegas again.)
But for the life of me, I don’t get where it came from.

In spite of the bloom of the sports betting industry, the challenges that it has continued to face over the years like all other industries are quite obvious. As a matter of fact, betting is a controversial activity. Many across the globe do not see it a morally acceptable. This is quite clear in the efforts of religious organizations and governments across the globe to forestall such practices.
It is unequivocally clear that states in the US where Casinos and gaming houses have been legalized have become highly susceptible to crime. This is because of the high rate of hard drug deals that characterize arenas such as casinos.
