US Congress Passes on i-Gaming Legislation

A 32-32 vote in the House Financial Services committee defeated a bill requiring Congress to define ‘unlawful Internet gambling”. Supporters hoped the bill would provide momentum to legislation legalizing i-gaming in the US. Two bills authored by committee chairman Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) - HR 2046 and HR 5767 - are stalled, with no apparent way forward during what remains of the 110th Congress.
