Desktop Conference: Frank Fahrenkopf, Jr.
12 February 2005
With few exceptions, the land-based casino industry in the United States has played the role of bystander in the explosion of Internet gambling into a multi-billion-dollar business. American casinos were adamantly against online gambling in the mid '90s, but a lot has changed since then, and the prospect of regulated Internet casinos isn't so far-fetched anymore. No one has a better understanding of the land-based casinos' perspective than president and CEO of the American Gaming Association Frank Fahrenkopf, Jr. In this audio interview with IGN publisher Sue Schneider, Fahrenkopf shares his views on numerous I-gaming-related issues, including: the evolution of Internet gambling; upcoming prohibition efforts in Congress; the prospect of a commission to study regulation; barriers to legalized online gambling in the United States; the AGA's position on I-gaming; the U.K. Gambling Bill; the crackdown on advertising in the United States and the U.S/Antigua WTO dispute.»

British Parliamentarian Report Links Betting Exchanges to Corruption
11 February 2005
The All Party Parliamentary Group on Betting & Gaming this week published a report explaining its inquiry into the effects of increased betting on British sports. The inquiry arose from the work of the Draft Gambling Bill's joint parliamentary scrutiny committee, which had been alerted to a large number of allegations of corruption in sports due to betting-predominantly via betting exchanges, but was unable to properly address the allegations because of time constraints. The All Party Parliamentary Group, chaired by Lord Faulkner of Worcester, therefore, undertook the responsibility of examining them. The group held five oral evidence sessions in November and December 2004 and also accepted written evidence from a number of parties before publishing its conclusions and recommendations.»
