Online Casino Transfer: News - Another Hero for California

05/23/2010		Online Casino Style: News Another Hero for California
Home History Games News Dictionary		As the debates in regards to online gambling and an intrastate poker network continue in the state of California, one man is making for himself quite a reputation on behalf of the endeavor. Roderick Wright, who serves as one of the senators for the State of California, made waves during the recent GIGSE conference held in Montreal this past month, demonstrating the strength of his conviction for the proposed intrastate poker system as one of the seminar’s most highlighted speakers. According to his disclosures during the GIGSE conference, Wright is working diligently with his staff on the drafting of a bill that would legalize, regulate and tax internet poker for his representative state. The announcement understandingly resulted in quite a few questions, many of which he was happy to respond to, and others that for now have yet to be seen. No specific dates were given for the introduction of his proposal, but given the escalating tensions between Indian tribal groups and the government seeking to find new revenue income, the change will more than likely come sooner than later. The goal is full of challenges, as even if the government were to agree to the plan to legalize even the one facet of online gambling in California, the arguments from the tribal casino groups are imminent as they continue to seek protection for their livelihoods. In spite of the difficulties, Senator Wright emphasized that standing by as the State of California seeks deeper into financial abyss, going bankrupt was surely not an acceptable solution. "We need to create a platform from which the state creates a profit from an asset," said Wright, pointing out that gambling is indeed an asset, but a wasted one if not taken advantage of. The time for change was now, he said, clarifying that if the state did not stake its territory on the poker field, the feds surely would. "If we try to just shut down offshore operators, we lose that fight.”
