The Representative Shelley Berkley opposed the idea of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act even before its inception and now is among the legislators which are looking to have the law overturned. As for Representative Berkley, her stance is similar to that of Representative Barney Frank. Frank and Berkley are both of the belief that US citizens should be allowed to do whatever they want.

“I firmly believe adults have the right to choose how they spend their leisure time and money. And that includes the ability to participate in Internet gaming from the privacy of their own homes and computers”, said Berkley. Representative Frank has introduced legislation that would overturn the UIGEA and allow to regulate Internet gambling industry in the US. The legislation was expected to be discussed earlier this year, but  it may be brought back up in the fall: "Just as our nation learned from prohibition, when the law actually helps the bad guys instead of protecting Americans against criminals, and only makes matters worse all around, it's time to start over”, he said.
