In the next few months, elected officials will take a look at yet another bill that, if passed and implemented, will make it more difficult for fans of online poker and casinos to deposit money and play at their favorite sites.
If passed, the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act won't make it illegal for players to play online, but will give law enforcers the ability to go after financial institutions that do business with offshore gaming houses and poker rooms.
The bill, which was introduced by Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) earlier this year, aims to prohibit financial institutions from working with online gambling companies based outside the United States.
This bill is just another attempt by a handful of politicians who are determined to make it as hard as possible for Americans to play poker and casino games for real money online.
Card Player Magazine's General Counsel Allyn Jaffrey Shulman outlines the history of these political attempts, explains the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act at length, and provides a link for players to email their local politicians here at CardPlayer.com.
