Re: A very good breakdown of the bill
09/30/06 11:56 AM

I have only read through this bill once, so if I'm wrong about this, I'm sure somebody can point me in the right direction.

The bill defines a "bet or wager" which I think clearly includes playing poker.

The bill states the term "unlawful internet gambling" means to place, receive, or otherwise knowingly transmit a bet or wager by any means which involves the use, at least in part, of the internet where such bet or wager is unlawful under any applicable Federal or State law in the State or Tribal lands in which the bet or wager is initiated, received, or otherwise made.

I know there are certain states where playing poker online is clearly illegal. However, I think everyone is pretty much in agreement that the federal law did not prohibit online poker. The wire act clearly prohibits placing sports bets.

Is there part of this bill that changes the wire act to include online poker? If not, isn't there an argument that online poker is still legal under federal law?

Section 5363 of the bill states "no person engaged in the business of betting or wagering may knowingly accept, in connection with the participation of another person in unlawful internet gambling (credit cards, EFTs etc.)

If poker is not considered "unlawful internet gambling" per the definition in the bill, then won't the poker sites be allowed to continue accepting EFTs?

Am I way off base in this analysis? My mind is still a little foggy from all of the beer I consumed last night.
