Topic: Internet Gambling Bill Passed Forum: Card Chat

Last night Senator Frist decided to get some Internet Gambling ban related material added into the Port Security bill that the Senate oted on last night, and it was passed. The legislation was related to preventing US banks & credit card companies processing online gambling related transactions (which most people haven't been able to do for a while now anyway).

Reuters Article

And more accurately... Gambling911's article

Don't panic!

Edit: Oh just to add, this hasn't changed the status of whether or not online gambling is illegal.... it's still a legal gray area. Give the industry time to analyse what's just happened and I guarentee you that new 3rd party payment processors will pop up that will be work arounds to this law.

Edit: Update 13th October, Bush has signed the bill, see http://www.cardschat.com/blog/10/13/...gambling-bill/
