Online Gambling Bill Not Top Priority in US Senate

A bill to ban some forms of Online Gambling seems unlikely to pass the U.S. Senate ebfore the recess. The Senators are taking a month off starting August 4th and will concentrate on others legislative matters leading up to the break.

The US Senate "luckily" has better things to do than try to block people from going online to make a wager on the Super Bowl or play online poker after a hard days work.

The legislation which was approved earlier in July by the U.S. House of Representatives is almost identical to the Senate Bill. Both would prohibit many forms of Internet gambling and in a way support others, credit card companies and banks would no longer be able to make payments to most online gambling, online casino and poker websites.

The proposed Representative Goodlatte's and Senator Jon Kyl bill to the Senate the online casino anti-internet gaming (bill H.R. 4411), leaves out horse racing and lotteries. H.R. 4411 will be supporting online horse racing and lotteries - so it would be okay to gamble online on horse racing, but online poker will get banned.

More and more countries are opening up to control regulated online gambling. Over 80 countries worldwide including the UK, are right now starting to legalize and regulate online casinos and online gambling.
