Although some form of gambling is allowable in almost every state, a hypocritical ban on sports gambling prevents Americans from legally placing a friendly wager anywhere outside of Nevada. NJ and Delaware are the latest states to attempt to realize the over $7 billion in lost tax revenue each year from illegal sports gambling.
Not only should Americans have the freedom to bet on sporting events, but states should be able to collect taxes by legalizing and regulating the activity. These new revenues, currently being lost to bookies, organized crime, and offshore Internet gambling operators, are critical to state budgets and could pour billions into education and other government programs.
The Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative has been fighting on the national level for individuals rights to gamble legally online. We invite you to join the fight and contact your elected representatives at www.safeandsecureig.org.
Thanks,
