A study by the accounting firm
PricewaterhouseCoopers has found out
that the United States can make
somewhere around $52 billion if
online gambling, including the
online casinos, are made legal in
the country and the government
begins to collect taxes from them.
The accounting firm also confirms
that despite the hard times for the
online casinos in the past year, due
to the though payment processing,
online gambling in the United States
has increased over 20% in the last
year alone. PricewaterhouseCoopers
suggests that if online gambling is
legalized in the United
States, the country stands to gain
$52 billion in taxes over the next
10 years.
Currently
the online casinos are having
difficult time processing payments,
due to the anti-online gambling bill
passed in the late '06, which made
it illegal for U.S. banks to process
money to and from the online
gambling companies. But judging from
the report by the accounting firm,
the 20+% increase of online gambling
in the past year is clear indication
that people will continue to
frequent the online casinos in the
future, as well, despite the
hardships the honest online casinos
could be experienced.
