"The endorsement of this key legislation by Congressman Miller, one of the most influential leaders on Capitol Hill, further demonstrates the growing support for regulated Internet gambling," said Jeffrey Sandman, spokesperson for the Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative. "We expect continuing momentum in Congress as more people realize that the current approach to prohibit Internet gambling is a failure. Rather than leave consumers vulnerable in an underground, uncontrolled marketplace, regulation of Internet gambling would protect consumers and generate billions in revenue needed for critical government programs."

"By not regulating and taxing Internet gambling, the United States is forfeiting billions of dollars in revenue needed for critical government programs," said Jeffrey Sandman, spokesman for the Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative. "It is time for Congress to address this issue and put in place security controls to protect the millions of Americans that continue to gamble online despite the prohibition."

"It is clear that FinCEN is already regulating financial transactions involving land-based casinos in the United States," said Jeffrey Sandman, spokesman for the Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative. "It makes sense for FinCEN to extend this role to ... monitor and regulate the integrity of the Internet version of the gambling industry."

"It was made clear at today's hearing that online gambling can be effectively regulated," said Jeffrey Sandman, spokesman for the Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative. "Instead of prohibiting Internet gambling, which is futile, the government should regulate and tax Internet gambling to ensure proven and effective security controls are implemented to protect consumers and capture billions in revenue that is needed for critical government programs."
