House OKs Internet Gambling Legislation
Rss-
The US House of Representatives voted 317-93 Tuesday to prohibit the use of credit cards to settle online bets, an effort to halt growing interest in Internet gambling.
Senate leaders have not identified the bill as a priority, but the bill's main proponent in the Senate, Arizona Republican Jon Kyl, said he will pursue it aggressively.
The legislation would clarify current law to indicate that most gambling is illegal online and would prohibit most payment forms from being used to settle online wagers. The measure would also allow law enforcement authorities to work with Internet providers to block access to gambling web sites.
The Internet gambling industry is headquartered almost entirely outside the United States, although about half of its customers live in the U.S. The bill's sponsors defeated an amendment to strip out the exemptions for horse racing and state lotteries.
