    US House Votes To Crack Down On Internet Gambling

    Of course the Senate has to vote yes or no. The article says that a ban on internet horserace betting was not included in the bill because it is popular with members of Congress.

    Ah, gotta love hypocrisy eh?

    Besides how feasible is this. I mean this is nearly as impossible to legislate as online porn is.

      I can't believe online poker is banned in Washington state, I didn't know that until a week or so ago.

        And I'm sure that's 100% accurate!

          Technically Internet gambling has always been illegal. This will blow over though as the internet is impossible to legislate.
