American Massachusetts continues to remain without an online casino

 

The leaders of many American states continue to work on the legalization of online gambling. Despite the fact that there are many opponents of the legalization of the gambling market on the Internet in the US state parliament, the obvious advantages of licensing this type of activity prevail in this confrontation.

Unfortunately, the leaders of the state of Massachusetts announced their intentions to postpone the start date of the legalization of the gambling industry on their territory. Despite the statement made at the beginning of the year about the beginning of the legalization of online gambling in July, the process will be temporarily suspended.

Officials, speaking about the postponement, refer to the results of the analysis of the current state of the gambling industry of the state, which was conducted by a specially created commission. In the report, the official commission came to the conclusion that the state is not ready to start licensing online casinos. Taking into account the experience of other American states, it turns out that the legislative framework of Massachusetts requires significant improvements and changes. The introduction of licenses for virtual casino gambling operators at this stage may entail the emergence of various controversial situations, the solution of which is not provided for by the current legislation.

According to preliminary forecasts https://casinotip.net/, the first official licenses for online casinos will be issued no earlier than in a year. Operators of gambling sites reminded about the losses that will be incurred by the state as a result of violation of the preliminary terms of legalization. Officials responsible for the gambling industry reported that they are ready for such losses and will not allow another violation of deadlines.

The Chief Treasurer of the state of Massachusetts, having learned about the upcoming postponement of the issuance of licenses, appealed to the head of the state with an official appeal to start issuing licenses in accordance with the approved deadlines. The financial situation of Massachusetts urgently requires additional sources of funding. Additional funding was expected to be obtained through licensing of casino operators and their payment of taxes. Unfortunately, for many adherents of Massachusetts gambling, the petition of the chief treasurer was rejected.
