Volstead Act & The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA)

[Edgar Ferrara]

I was just reading a post how the online gambling and marijuana are similar to alcohol in the 1920’s in the United States of America. Does anyone see a correlation between the Volstead Act and The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA)? If Trump becomes the next president of the United States of America do you think that we will get rid of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA) or amend it?


The Volstead Act was established in 1919 and continued until 1935. Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA) has been around for a decade now and we are seeing changes on a state-by-by level just like the marijuana laws. I would love to hear every ones thoughts.

Do you talk about the computer or phone games?

A lot have changed since then. For example, there are a lot of casinos nowadays, where people play, but these sites aren't banned, because it's legal(supposedly). Moreover, there isn't necessity of having the computer for playing it, because a lot of phones cope with it. By the way, did you know, that different phones(I don't tell only about the firms, but even the models) browse on the internet in different way. I have read it on the internet. I was shocked with my iPhone XS Max, it's so bad actually.
