Banning online gambling doesn't really make sense if you still permit gambling at a state level, so I think this law is probably going to be toast in the long run.
- pyre 16y agoBanning online gambling is essentially protectionism of the state-level gambling industries. A number of countries and WTO denounced the US a number of years ago for this policy, but the US just ignores WTO when it's convenient and uses it as a hammer against other countries when it is convenient.
