Sheldon Adelson of the Las Vegas Sands Corp, a developer and operator of luxury hotels and casinos, gained the support from both republican and democrat politicians to rally against internet gambling. The rallying effort from Adelson comes out of a need to cut into competitor's profits from online gambling. According to the mission statement on the Coalition's website, they state "Targeting the young, the poor and the elderly where they live, Internet gambling takes gambling too far. Internet Gambling crosses the line of responsible gaming by bringing gambling into our living rooms and onto our smartphones, tablets and home computers 24 hours a day without necessary protections. Congress must protect United States residents and citizens by restoring the longstanding federal ban on Internet gambling".
