The adverse impact of the American political lobbying scandal is just one factor making this year's attempts by US politicians to ban onlinegambling particularly dangerous, says prominent American lawyer Lawrence G. Walters.
After eight years of seemingly-endless legislative proposals, committee debates, and defeats, news that United States lawmakers intended to propose yet another round of prohibitionist legislation piqued little interest among industry leaders in early 2006, says Walters.
"However, in this author's view, the online gamblingindustry has never been more vulnerable to adverse United States legislation than right now," he says.
