Online Gambling: A Pastime Whose Time Has Come
Current regulations however do not preclude individual states from passing legislation superseding federal statutes. So the result has been state by state webs of byzantine codes that may, for example, allow horse betting but disallow online poker or casino games. As of today, three states have officially legalized online gambling: Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware although only Nevada has sites actually up and operating. Many other states including some biggies like California and Pennsylvania have online gaming proposals grinding through respective legislatures.
The efforts to circumvent the state patchworks and legalize online gaming at the Federal level have recently gained some impetus. New York Republican Congressman Peter King, in early June introduced the long winded Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection Act of 2013. According to King, this bill would create “a common federal standard (to) ensure strong protections for consumers………make it easier for businesses, players, lawmakers, and regulators to navigate and freely participate”. This makes some sense. The gambling lobby rightly argues that uniform standards will make it much easier for global casino operators to confidently develop expansion strategies and gear up for legalization. With this potential good comes a new office of “gambling oversight” attached to the Treasury Department. It also raises my antenna anytime I see the words “consumer protection” in a bill. Is that an invitation to people like the nanny state unconfirmed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau chief wonk Richard Corday to attempt to expand an already dubious mandate?
Games of skill already have a specific carve-out in the 2006 UIGEA explicitly approving them, subject to state approval, for online consumption. Online poker, as of May 1, 2013, is officially up and operating in Nevada but is only available to Nevada residents. The main offering area in the skilled gaming arena has always been Fantasy Sports. These season-long affairs have long been dominated by juggernauts like Disney (DIS) subsidiary ESPN , Yahoo ! (YHOO) Fantasy Sports, and CBS Sports. While very financially successful, having to endure an entire season deprives gamblers of the greatest of all pleasures, namely instant gratification. In the past few years the still nascent daily fantasy sports wagering has been successfully filling this void.
Daily fantasy sports lets you draft your team, place your wager, and get paid, all in one day… and you can play almost any day of the year. Play against one opponent or many in a league format. Offerings can satisfy all addicts’ cravings including the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, PGA, and NCAA basketball and football. While still considered a niche this industry is growing at triple digit rates.
One of the big debates surrounding legalizing online wagering is what might be the always dreaded unintended consequences. One of the big naysayers is billionaire CEO of Las Vegas Sands Corp. Mr. Sheldon Adelson, perhaps the godfather of gambling in America. “Click your mouse, lose your house” quipped the head of the world’s largest gaming organization. Mr. Adelson calls internet gambling “fool’s gold” adamantly opining that its expansion will come solely at the expense of brick and mortar casinos. By his unsubstantiated arithmetic 400,000 jobs would be lost (200,000 direct in casinos and 200,000 indirect) if this bogeyman were legalized.
Mr. Adelson views a “societal train wreck waiting to happen” referring to is predicted wave of new gambling addicts online wagering will facilitate. To the contrary, an enormous Harvard Medical School 40,000 person study concluded “the overwhelming majority of online gamers play in a very moderate manner, spending minimal amounts on gaming”. Further it is far easier to police “addiction” on the internet versus at a live casino.
Mr. Adelson notes that the outcome of this debate doesn’t really affect him much as the bulk of his Las Vegas Sands Corp. profits are derived overseas notably from his Macau Venetian, the world’s largest casino. It is difficult to know the real thoughts Mr. Adelson. Perhaps he does mean what he says but billionaires think a little differently than you and I do. Certain laws of nature appear inapplicable to the ultra-rich.
Even if there is some cannibalization from brick and mortar to cyberspace, then won’t there be a void to be filled by thousands of computer programmers and other technology skilled based jobs? Currently online poker worldwide is a $15 billion enterprise with an estimated $ 6 billion emanating from the U. S. shores. American poker players pay a heavy price for accessing illegal overseas based websites. Besides the usual vig (house take) these houses have very onerous penalties to withdraw your money…..sometimes up to 15 or 20 percent. As the dust settles, and legislation becomes more transparent, for sure many of those players will migrate back to America.
