A new study by the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers has determined that the United States could benefit significantly should the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 be overturned and online gambling become regulated and taxed. The U.S. could raise as much as USD52 billion in revenue over the next ten years by regulating and taxing online gambling. 
As was the case with the late 2007 study, the recent study was conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers for the UC Group, an online payment service company who would certainly stand to benefit should the U.S. make online gambling fully legal.
Chair of the House Committee on Financial Services, announced the congressman’s intention in the near future to back legislation to repeal the UIGEA.
