Washington - The U.S.
could reap as much as $52 billion in revenue over the next ten years by lifting
its ban on Internet gambling, according to a report conducted by
PricewaterhouseCoopers for online payment services firm UC Group.
That figure
is up 22% from 2007, which the firm attributed to the growth of online gambling
in the U.S.
-- despite the three-year-old legal ban being in place.
Reuters noted that Rep.
Barney Frank (D-Mass.), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee,
plans to reintroduce a bill this year that would overturn the 2006 Unlawful
Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.
