iMEGA was founded in 2007 as a professional association dedicated to the continued growth and innovation of the Internet, with a special focus now on Internet gambling, which has come under severe attack by a select few politicians and powerful lobbying groups.
"We seek constructive engagement with government at the Federal and State levels to ensure that the challenges of this still nascent medium are addressed with the full participation of the people and companies that have built the Internet into the powerful influence on society it has become," the site reads.
