  美马萨诸塞州或开网络售彩 信用卡支付引争议

  此前,美国马萨诸塞州财政部部长史蒂夫·格罗斯曼计划建议立法机关修改州法律,以便马萨诸塞州的彩票可以合法地进行网上交易。此议案目前正在提交州议会审核,据了解,该议案通过后,马萨诸塞州彩票委员会将有权运营在线博彩,其中包括制定价格、设定奖项数量与额度以及抽奖方式与频率。同时,该议案要求州彩票委员会限制18岁以下青少年进行包括在线交易在内的博彩游戏,并限制马赛诸塞州以外的居民参与。

  马萨诸塞州财政部长史蒂夫·格罗斯曼表示,他将推进州立法通过在线博彩试行议案,以期在马萨诸塞州掀起第一股在线彩票热潮。可见,该州彩民很快有望在线进行博彩交易。

  马萨诸塞州在线彩票的缘起

  2011年夏,马萨诸塞州议会提出在线博彩草案并全力推进,据悉,该议案通过后将会为资金短缺的马萨诸塞州带来每年1000万美元的财政收入。自此,支持和反对的争议此起彼伏。

  这一构想赢得了自由党标杆人物巴尼·弗兰克的支持。他在接受《先驱报》采访时谈道:“我无法理解自由党为什么要劝阻人们不要进行博彩活动。但是他们却支持同性恋婚姻、*****合法化以及性文学,却偏偏不支持博彩。州政府和联邦政府认为赌博有罪,但我个人赞成在线博彩。”

  立法委员还商讨了让彩民使用信用卡在线购买彩票的试点计划,支持者称彩票销售预计将会有10%到25%的增幅。

  对此,州议会陆军司令约翰·里根表示,信用卡在线支付交易可以扩大销售规模、增加财政收入。据了解,最先提出信用卡交易构想的是麦克·拉什,他在伊拉克服兵役期间了解到美国其他一些州已经超前开展了同类业务,所以向州议员进行了提议。

  信用卡支付引来多方争议

  据一项彩票行业调查报告显示,马萨诸塞州有高达6万人参与非法*****,运营商每天凭此能获得高达25万美元收入。如果在线博彩信用卡支付合法化,这既可以提高交易的透明度,又可以增加政府财政收入。

  马萨诸塞州市政联合会会长杰夫·贝克威茨对信用卡支付的提议表示乐观,但强调稳进慎行,他认为彩票是全州税收来源之一,任何变动需谨慎。

  但是,信用卡支付提案遭到财政部长斯蒂文·格罗斯曼的强烈反对。他表示:“未经认真分析就实施信用卡支付博彩业务,会直接导致整个马萨诸塞州赌博情况恶化。”

  目前已经推行在线购彩业务的有纽约、明尼苏达、弗吉尼亚、马里兰和北达科他州,但它们中有些地区的销售情况表现得不温不火。据纽约州彩票新闻发言人卡洛琳·哈派曼透露,强力球和超级百万是他们可以在线购买的两种彩票游戏,预计每年会发行9.5万张季票,每张价格在100-500美元不等。

  马萨诸塞州反对赌博联合会主席托马斯·拉金则表示,在线购票可以为玩家提供便利。该联合会愿意为大家提供便捷的产品,但是很多客户像候鸟一样,居无定所,所以在线支付不适合这样的人群。赌博赔钱、高额欠债将会引发酗酒、斗殴等一系列社会问题。

  传统彩票代售商对在线交易则表现出极大的反对。正如马萨诸塞州最大彩票的代售商托尼·艾米科所说,他们去年的代售佣金约为1.1万美元,5家代售点中有80%的顾客购买乐透,推行在线购彩势必会对他们造成影响。

  这些争议都导致目前马萨诸塞州彩票在线交易议案仍未有最终结果。

  州财政部部长转变态度

  时隔一年,马萨诸塞州彩票在线交易议案由财政部部长史蒂夫·格罗斯曼于2012年12月再度提起。尽管此前格罗斯曼极力反对使用信用卡支付,但是此次他向立法机构提议取消州法律对在线博彩或禁止信用卡支付的禁令,并建议在线交易的彩种可包括大富翁、强力球和刮刮乐等常见类型。

  而州彩票官方意在开发类似幻想体育联盟的社交博彩网络,而在线扑克等玩法暂不考虑纳入其中。

  格罗斯曼表示,州彩票需要对不同彩种进行试验以判断出盈利最佳的方式。同时,在线交易会对现有的代售点造成直接的威胁。但希望马萨诸塞州能够成为先行者,让在线博彩来到彩民身边,并在将来会对全美彩票事业产生一定的影响。作为财政部长,格罗斯曼还表示,他正在着手建立一个对在线博彩影响进行研究的项目,而且准备公开调研结果。

  从极力反对到全力推动,州财政部部长格罗斯曼的态度显然发生了截然转变。格罗斯曼表示,主要原因是由于2011年12月美国司法部一改先前的立场,对在线博彩放宽了管制(体育彩票除外),这就意味着马萨诸塞州的成年人可以使用信用卡在线购彩。一旦立法机构通过他的提议后,就会出台具体试行在线博彩的计划。希望此次试点稳妥进行,从而获取更多信息。

  据了解,目前,马萨周塞州各界均积极回应此次提案,其中有一项建议是要在线博彩业务推行的同时保护马萨诸塞州7400个彩票代售点的利益,如便利店和酒水商店等。

Beauty Massachusetts or open network sale color credit card cause the dispute

 

Previously, Massachusetts Treasury secretary Steve case direction plan suggestion legislatures to change state law, in order to Massachusetts lottery can legally for Internet transactions. The proposals are submitted to the state council audit, it is understood that the bill is passed, Massachusetts lottery commission will have the right to online gaming operations, including the development set price, quantity and amount and lucky draw prizes mode and frequency. At the same time, the bill for the lottery commission under the age limit and adolescents include online trading, gaming, and limit the Massachusetts outside of the residents participate in.

 

Massachusetts finance minister Steve case direction, said he would push the state legislature through online gaming trial bill, in order to in Massachusetts first shares a online lottery boom. Visible, the player is expected to soon online gaming transactions.

 

The origin of Massachusetts online lottery

 

In the summer of 2011, Massachusetts congress online gaming draft and advancing, it is reported, the bill through the will of the shortage of funds for Massachusetts generate $10 million in annual revenue. Since then, support and opposition to the dispute to break out.

 

The idea won the liberal party pole figure barney frank support. He told the herald newspaper said in an interview: "I can't understand why the liberal party to dissuade people don't gambling activities. But they support gay marriage, marijuana legalization and sexual literature, but why does not support gaming. State and federal government think gambling is guilty, but I personally agree with online gaming.

 

Lawmakers also discuss the player to use credit CARDS online purchase lottery pilot program, supporters say lottery sales are expected to increase of 10% to 25%.

 

To this, the state legislature army commander John Reagan said, credit card online payment transaction can expand sales scale, increase the fiscal revenue. As we have learned, first proposed the idea of credit card transactions is Michael rush in Iraq during the military service, he know the United States some other states have lead to carry out similar business, so the state legislature to the proposal.

 

Credit card draw many disputes

 

According to a lottery industry survey report, Massachusetts have up to 60000 people involved in illegal online gambling, operators with this every day can be as high as $250000 in revenue. If a credit card to pay online gambling legalization, it can improve the transparency of transactions, and can increase the government financial income.

 

Massachusetts municipal federation chairman Jeff beck's power to credit card proposal is optimistic, but emphasize stability into running-in, he thought that the lottery is the state tax source of any change, be careful.

 

However, credit card bill was Treasury secretary Steven lattice opposition direction. He said: "without careful analysis on implementing the credit card to pay for gaming business, it will directly lead to the Massachusetts gambling the situation worse."

 

Has been carrying out online purchase color business have New York, Minnesota, Virginia and Maryland and North Dakota, but some of them area sales performance not temperature is not fire. According to the New York state lottery spokesman Caroline, sent the man revealed powerball and super million is they can buy online two lottery games a year, is expected to issue 95000 season tickets, each the price is in 100-500 dollars.

 

Massachusetts against gambling federation President Thomas Larkin, said, online tickets can provide convenience for the player. The association would like to provide you with convenient products, but many customers like migratory birds, and a better life, so online payment is not suitable for such people. Gambling loss, high debt will cause alcohol, fight and a series of social problems.

 

Traditional lottery ticket booking business of online trading is showed great against. As the largest of the Massachusetts lottery ticket booking business Tony Amy department said, they last year's booking commission about $11000, 5 in their hometowns 80% of customers to buy lottery, the implementation of the online purchase color will affect to them.

 

These disputes are caused the current Massachusetts lottery tickets online trading bill is still not the final result.

 

State Treasury secretary to change your attitude

 

After a year, Massachusetts lottery tickets online trading bill by the ministry of finance minister Steve case direction in December 2012 to again. Although lattice direction objected to use a credit card payment, but the he propose legislation to cancel state law to online gaming or prohibit credit card ban, and suggested that the color of online transactions can include richman, powerball and scrape-off common type.

 

And the state lottery officials to develop similar fantasy sports league social gaming network, and online poker and play will not enter into the among them.

 

Lattice direction said, state lottery tickets need to different color kind of test to determine the best way to profit. At the same time, the existing DaiShouDian online fair a direct threat. But I hope to become a pioneer in Massachusetts, let online gaming came to the player side, and in the future will to the lottery business produce certain effect. As finance minister, lattice direction also said he is working to build a online gaming effect on research projects, and are ready to open research results.

 

From strongly opposed to promoting our, state Treasury secretary lattice direction attitude obviously happened quite transformation. Lattice direction said, the main reason is because in December 2011, the United States justice department change the previous position, to online gaming eased control (sports lottery except), this means that Massachusetts adults can use credit CARDS online purchase color. Once the legislature passed his proposal, will be issued for specific online gaming plan. Hope the pilot along, thus for more information.
