Millions of Americans enjoy gambling online and should be able to do so without government interference. In fact, traditional forms of legalized gambling already exist in nearly every state. Rather than tell Americans what they can and cannot do online, which is ineffective, the government should regulate Internet gambling to ensure that proper protections are in place to protect consumers and ensure the integrity of Internet gambling financial transactions.
