Default Re: So who\'s REALLY behind this anti-online gaming push?

Many of these politicians (and their conservative constituents) simply see online gambling (including poker) as much more insidious than B&M casinos, especially to children. As much as I'd like to look for other reasons behind this legislation, I think the most obvious reason - to stop online gambling - is the most likely one.

I agree. Also, I think this is an issue that religious conservatives felt they could win relatively easily and with much less resistance than, say, repealing Roe v Wade.

In other words, they're doing the easier stuff on their lists first.
