Online gambling nemesis Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona is moving up in the world of US Republican Party politics, an ominous sign for online bingo operators hoping for a relaxation of laws enshrined in the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA).

The man who has done more to ruin the online gambling industry than any other US politician won his party’s election to become the Republican’s assistant leader, or minority whip. He replaces Trent Lott who is giving up his seat at the end of the year.

"We have one leader, that's Mitch McConnell (of Kentucky), and my job is assistant leader, and I appreciate that point," Kyl said after the vote. "I assured my colleagues that I would work as hard as Trent, that I would do everything I could to assist our leader in the work that we have to do in the remaining days of this session and, of course, throughout the next session."

For observers of the bingo online industry the promotion of Kyl means the Senator’s policies are likely to gain in influence.
