The contested issue at hand is over the illicit doping of racing horses which was part of a bill examined on Friday during a hearing in the <strong>Digital Commerce and Consumer Protection Subcommittee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In an article published in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollcall.com\/news\/policy\/walden-odds-horse-racing-bill-leaving-gate\">Roll Call<\/a>, <strong>Rep. Joe Barton<\/strong> has seen a chink that may allow him to push forward with online poker, expanding at the current discourse, and even broach the more popular topic of sports betting. <\/p>\n<p>According to Online Poker Report, there has been little information that Barton was willing to share after the recent news broke about his dovish stance on both <strong>online poker<\/strong> and <strong>sports betting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"barton-and-poker-a-new-acquaintance-or-old-friendship\">Barton and Poker \u2013 A New Acquaintance or Old Friendship?<\/h2>\n<p>Barton has seemed to be inclined to support poker bills. He has vowed his support for multiple pieces of legislation throughout the years, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Internet Gambling Prohibition Poker Consumer Protection, and Strengthening IGUEA Act of 2011<\/li>\n<li>Internet Poker Freedom Act<\/li>\n<li>Internet Poker Freedom Act of 2015<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Barton has put significant efforts in propping up the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.govtrack.us\/congress\/bills\/114\/hr2888\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Internet Poker Freedom Act of 2015<\/a> in particular. As such, Barton\u2019s endorsement of poker and online gambling is somewhat well-documented. However, <strong>Rep. Andy Barr<\/strong> has been rather opposed to the discussions over horse racing being a shift towards a seemingly unrelated segment. <\/p>\n<p>Barr wants to focus on the establishment of a national <strong>Horseracing Anti-Doping and Medication Control Authority<\/strong> and prefers all side discussions to be kept away from the main point of the issue he wants to solve.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"off-to-the-races-poker-may-have-to-wait\">Off to the Races \u2013 Poker May Have to Wait<\/h2>\n<p>The anti-doping bill may, in fact, garner sufficient endorsement to push past the discussion stages. However, Barr\u2019s bill has been met with some opposition from the <strong>House Energy and Commerce Committee<\/strong> and most notably from its Chair, <strong>Rep. Greg Walden<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It has most certainly not been easy for online poker to take hold in America. While Nevada and New Jersey enjoy a complete freedom to entertain the action, other states are kept on the sidelines. Recently, there was hoping that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinepokeramerica.com\/news\/no-online-poker-in-ny-in-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York may push ahead<\/a> with legalizing online poker. However, any vote on that matter will be postponed until 2019.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"may-something-change-hereafter\">May Something Change Hereafter?<\/h2>\n<p>Any changes in the regulatory landscape are in fact difficult to broach. Even though the current piece of legislation seems a far-fetched attempt to broach topics that have been unfavored for years, there\u2019s a slim chance that by repeatedly bringing up the topic, lawmakers could at least make it a more comfortable subject in their inner circles. <\/p>\n<p>Success will be contingent upon many factors. First, <strong>local support will need to be found<\/strong> and polls will have to be conducted to accurately reflect how state residents feel towards the activity. <\/p>\n<p>Things may indeed be much simpler if lawmakers manage to get support from their electorates and online casinos and poker operators make a determined move into the market in a bid to support the nascent industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In an unlikely turn of events, a hearing on US legal sports betting may successfully pave the way for online poker.
