The National Council of Legislators from Gaming States meet in Boston on June 2 and started accepting testimony on internet gambling in anticipation of the possible adoption of a revised policy during its winter meeting in early 2007.
NCLGS for seven years has been opposed to internet gambling on the grounds it interferes with the ability of states to regulate gaming within the borders.
Florida Senator Steven Geller, President of NCLGS, said emerging technology and other issues have led the organization to consider re-establishing its position on internet gambling.
NCLGS members, which will accept testimony on internet gambling through September 1, were particularly intrigued with testimony from Bill White of Global Cyber, a company that has developed a patented system to regulate internet gambling. “What\’s wrong with internet gambling is the absence of regulation,” White said. “What\’s wrong is you legislators and regulators can\’t get control of internet gambling.”
