2 more cosponsors added to internet gambling bill

Internet gambling has become the talk of the town in United States as many US poker players opposing UIGEA law and on other side EU authorities asking US government to allow European gambling firms to operate in US market.

Beside all these, congressman, Barney Frank introduced a bill last month and hearing was scheduled this month, but due to other major issues such as economy crisis, the hearing was postponed later this september.

One thing is certain, that in order to pass the bill you need majority support and its happening for Frank’s internet gambling bill. Already forty cosponsors are added to the bill support and recently two more sponsors rendered their support to curb UIGEA law. 

Frank spent the weekend at the WSOP, where he answered questions regarding his online gambling legislation.
