Topic: Internet Gambling Prohibition Act re-introduced Forum: Bonus Whores

Sorry but I don't get it - internet gambling has already been confirmed as illegal by many US courts - it's what caused the (enitire?) US credit card industry to start mandatory purchase type flagging and no gambling transactions. People were getting away with chargebacks because the courts agreed the transactions were illegal and the cards couldnt force the users to pay. Same deal with big name owners in the overseas gambling world - cant come on to US soil due to bench warrants - so it's not just financial grey areas, the feds are sure they can put people on trial.

So what does this do exactly, make it more illegal? Seems odd. Article was short on details but mentioning checks, wires, etc makes it sound like they are trying to put the responsibility on US based financial companies to stop the transfers before they start. Couldn't end up working very well, at most you'd just need more generic clearing houses/e-wallets - as neteller is pretty much gambling only, but there are plenty of those in operation and overseas anyway.

Lots of talk, nothing changes?
