Joe Brennan, Jr., founder of the Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association believes there is an excellent chance a U.S. Appeals Court could rule in its favor some time in the next few months. iMEGA is challenging the enforcement policies of the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act (UIGEA) passed in October of 2006, calling it "Unconstitutional". The online gambling trade organization, which represents several dozen members, recently won a landmark appeal in the commonwealth of Kentucky to stop the seizure of 141 Internet gambling domain names including FullTiltPoker.com and PokerStars.com.

The new administration in the US has many leading figures that understand the problems of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. They will undoubtedly be taking a look at overturning the ill-advised law as soon as they are finished dealing with the nations economic crisis. 😉

The economy is step one for President Obama, but there are too many people within his circle that want the UIGEA overturned. It will not take much longer before Representative Barney Frank brings to light the troubles of the UIGEA. It may not have happened yet, but the feeling inside the industry seems to be that this period is the calm before the storm.
