Default Re: Congresswoman says bill does NOT ban online poker

"Despite its misleading name, there is no getting around the fact that this bill very clearly and specifically states that betting on horse racing over the Internet is not prohibited. The same holds true for lotteries, which enjoy special protections under this legislation. And despite the misinformed and misguided claims of this bill’s supporters, it would neither prohibit Internet gaming, nor increase the enforcement capabilities of the United States government,” said Berkley.

Let me also point out she is correct, the new bill does not ban online gambling, existing laws already have, especially in her state.
