Internet access to gambling sites.........blocked or not?
I am reading contradictory articles about this. Some say ISPs are required to block access to internet gaming sites. Other articles make no mention of this. This is a huge issue if it were true.

ISPs are not required to block access to Internet gambling sites under this law. Gambling sites are barred fro accepting wagers from U.S. computers/residents, but it is unclear if this actually can be enforced.

I doubt they would spend the amount of money it would take to have every gaming site blocked. Also, as far as I know they dont even have child pornography sites blocked by ISPs and that is something even our extremely conservative religious friends would find reprehensible.

That was something that was being bandied about in the Goodlatte bill, I believe. Not this one.

ISPs are not required to block access, but some sites are planning to IP-ban US customers of their own accord (read: Party).

There is nothing about blocking access to Internet sites. If they did that, the First Amendment would come into play and the negative publicity backlash would help us quite a bit.

There is language in the bill concerning hosting "links" to gambling sites but not IP blocking.

I think an injunction can come from US district court saying an "interactive computer service" must remove or block access to an online site that violates the pending bill.

I think there is no need to worry about that. Please read this:
