IDEA has already published its findings on the data compiled from New Jersey. By using New Jersey as a positive case study, iDEA hopes it can put forward an optimistic and constructive argument that will help shift both the balance of power and public opinion. It plans to lobby politicians and federal legislators with the ultimate goal of creating a regulated market for online gambling across all US states. IDEA is a lobby group that seeks to represent the major players of the iGaming industry. The press release that followed this move stated that iDEA is ‘an association seeking to grow jobs and expand online interactive entertainment business in the United States through advocacy and education.’ As the third largest country in the world, a legal betting market in the States would mean big business! What’s the Big iDEA?
Known as the i-Development and Economic Association (iDEA), the new lobbying group has recently opened its first office in America’s capital, Washington D.C. Online gambling has always been a contentious issue for many politicians in the US, but a new lobby group is hoping to change their attitudes.
