Harvard Professor Malcolm Sparrow has released a study that argues that the most effective way of reducing the costs of internet gambling is to actually legalise and regulate it rather than prohibiting it. This study comes at an important point of the UIGEA debate and is hopefully by many internet gamblers out there that it will reach the law makers in the US.

The study reveals that there are currently millions of online gamblers in the uS who are already gambling on online casinos and poker sites that are hosted overseas and are offered no consumer protection. Continually prohibiting online American sites will leave many of the problems associated with online gambling unattended to. Many countries around the world are using new technology to address problem gamblers and underage gambling issues, along with other problems like fraud, privacy and security.
