It’s been over a year since the US congress decided to pass the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act and practically abolish the American online casino industry. During that year, many people have tried to reverse the decision, until now with no real results. Nevertheless, it seems as there might be some hope after all, as the US District Court in Trenton, New Jersey will have to decide next week if that law could be challenged in court by the Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association (iMEGA). While it’s obvious that the US government legal representatives want the action immediately dismissed, it will be Judge Mary L. Cooper who finally decides if this debate will taken to a full court hearing.

Founded only this year, by Joe Brennan Jr, the Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association (iMEGA) is a not-for-profit corporation headquartered in Washington DC, which is dedicated to the continued growth and innovation of the Internet. Among other things, it’s trying to fight the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which made it almost impossible for US citizens to gamble at their favorite online casino sites

"What is most important to iMEGA is that this law is overturned, so that Americans’ digital civil rights are preserved” said recently the association’s spokesman, in what may well reflect the feelings of millions of American online casino players. All of them, along with us, hope that iMEGA’s efforts will turn out successful and pave the way to the cancellation of this draconic law, which isn’t only two-faced, but also uneconomical
