Justice Dept. Drafts Bill to Ban Internet Gambling
Thu Aug 3 2000

The U.S. House of Representatives failed last month to pass the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act (HR 3125), but now Interactive Gaming News reports that the Justice Department introduced its own bill to prohibit online gambling on July 27. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) is sponsor of the Comprehensive Internet Gambling Prohibition Act of 2000 (HR 5020). The newer bill aims to prohibit Internet gambling by extending the almost 40-year-old Wire Wager Act, which prohibits interstate gambling on sports "by phone or wire." It is possible that many representatives that oted against HR 3125 will favor HR 5020. However, Congress can take no action on either HR 5020 or HR 3125 until it reconvenes on September 6.
