Re: Frank to introduce bill.....
Sports bettors will not be happy with this bill.
Under the proposed legislation, all licensed Internet gambling operators would be prohibited from accepting bets or wagers on sports leagues or associations that have opted-out. |

Re: Frank to introduce bill.....
It sounds like this really opens the door for US operations to come in. If this bill is passed, would it alone allow US companies (i.e. Harrah's) into the market?
Can anybody speak for the purpose of the state limitations and state opt out? Would states have the right to say that gambling sites cannot provide service to any of it's state population? Or could they only choose to restrict the licensee from being a functioning business registered in that state? |

Re: Frank to introduce bill.....
Forgive my ignorance, but when does this bill get a number (it just says H.R. ____ now)? I'd like to have something to repeat three times when I call people.

Re: Frank to introduce bill.....
All major professional sports leagues will opt-out. That kind of sucks, but not enough to not make me happy about the possibility of everything else becoming legal.
My one worry is this bill makes too much sense and therefore the other reps voting on it won't be able to understand it. |

Sports betting will remain "underground" as it is now.
