Re: November 14th: House Judiciary Committee Hearing Thread
The funny thing is that the DOJ considers offtrack pari-mutual betting, horse and dogs, to violate the Wire Act. Ms. Hanaway claims that the BetOnSports case includes horse racing, but it is not mentioned in the complaint. The truth is that the DOJ have never prosecuted anyone for offtrack pari-mutual betting.
However, the Treasury could ignore the American Greyhound Track Operators Association comments on the grounds that it is not legally correct. But how can they ignore our comments that online poker is legal in most states when we can cite In Re Mastercard?
I submitted one comment on this matter when I suggested a definition of UIG. Now I may submit a comment seeking an exemption for online poker transactions unless they are in a state that expressly prohibits online gambling. Are partial repeat comments ok?
