WASHINGTON, June 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Remote Gambling
Association (RGA), which represents the largest global remote gambling
companies, today endorsed the Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative
for its efforts to promote the freedom of individuals to gamble online with
the proper safeguards to protect consumers and ensure the integrity of
financial transactions.
"RGA endorses the Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative in its
mission to support regulated Internet gambling and protect consumers
betting online," said Clive Hawkswood, Chief Executive. "Internet gambling
is capable of control in order to prevent it from being used as a source of
crime. Only through a regulatory framework as championed by the Initiative,
will the proper protections be in place to guard against money laundering,
fraud and identity theft." The RGA provides the industry with a single
voice on all the issues of importance to regulators, legislators, and key
decision makers.
"RGA's endorsement is a significant indication of the importance of
mobilizing support for regulated Internet gambling, and we are delighted
they are joining our effort," said Jeffrey Sandman, spokesman for the Safe
and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative. "We encourage supporters to visit
http://www.safeandsecureig.org to urge Members of Congress to cosponsor
legislation to regulate Internet gambling thereby protecting consumers and
capturing billions in revenue that is needed for critical government
programs."
RGA recently offered further evidence to Members of Congress in
testimony to the House Committee on Financial Services that a regulatory
framework for Internet gambling would protect consumers and provide
integrity to Internet gambling financial transactions. Existing systems and
technology have proven successful in combating underage and compulsive
gambling and protecting Internet gambling transactions according to the
RGA.
RGA encourages social responsibility within the betting and gaming
industry both for the benefit of operators and the general public through
various means including support for charities and initiatives to help those
who have gambling problems.
Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative
Endorsers of the Initiative include the UC Group and Baker Tilly.
Additional endorsers are highlighted on the Safe and Secure Internet
Gambling Initiative Web site.
