Online casino prime operations in the United States have been slowly taking effect as three states have already legalized Internet betting. The states of Nevada, Delaware and New Jersey already started their operations for virtual wagering in the later months of 2013. Despite the on going campaign for the legitimization of Internet gambling, the Coalition to Stop Internet Gaming is claiming it is gaining grounds and building support from more entities. The coalition formed and subsidized by Las Vegas Sands Corporation CEO, Sheldon Adelson, is actually aiming to have federal ban on virtual gaming and according to sources, the group has gained more support from 39 conservative and faith based organizations. There are 11 varied groups including Freedom and Faith Coalitions, the Universal Baptist Church, American Principles Project and Network of Active Political Christians.
The continuous fight for Internet gaming legalization is already becoming popular and a hot topic among key players in the bookmaking niche. The industry is obviously divided as to their official stand whether or not to legalize operations of online casino prime sites in the United States. The coalition that fights against legalized Internet betting is based in Washington, D.C. but claims to be getting more approval and pledges from groups and organizations nationwide. According to prominent sources, the support groups gather together for the confrontation of the many impacts of activities which are not in accordance to their advocacy. The group also emphasized that there are varied threats posed due to legitimizing Internet gambling.
The coalition is venturing into more campaigns particularly for the awareness of many so that more will support their cause. Based on information from sources, the coalition is already kicking off its first ever web based advertisement and information campaign. Despite the aggressive moves of the group against online casino prime operations, another coalition is formed with a different cause. The Coalition for Online and Consumer Protection is a group formed in direct opposition to the anti Internet betting team. The opposing coalition debuted in order to stop congressional moves that would ban Internet wagering. The same group is also getting more support and gets the services and leadership of ex-officials.
