ray suarez hosts inside story weekdays at 5pm et / 2pm pt only on al jazeera america ♪ >>> i'm joshua faust a writer, and i'm in "the stream." >> we come back, we're talking about the future of online gambling in the u.s. keith 47 states allow some form of gambling. over the next few years we could see other states also adopt online gambling, so there's a good chance americans will be dealing with this issue even if congress doesn't. what do you think needs to happen in advance to limit the social down side? >> states and companies both have not done the best job of encouraging their customers to develop a culture of responsible gaming. and as vin noted the racing industry has been doing it online for about a decade now. so i would argue most americans have access to online gambling that is legal, much as well as illegal online gambling on the internet. but i think we have done a terrible job preparing for the impact. the u.s. government gets about $7 billion a year from the tax on winnings, and not a penny of that go into prevention or treatment of gambling addiction nor do most states. be
