The enactment of the bill would have the practical impact of delaying implementation of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA) regulations through a process designed to ensure that the regulations do not impair the functioning of the U.S. payments system, or inappropriately prevent legal online transactions. http://www.midasoracle.org/2008/09/18/barney-frank-internet-betting-gambling/ http://www.midasoracle.org/2008/09/18/barney-frank-internet-betting-gambling/#comments Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:25:49 +0000 Chris F.

As I understand it, “wagers on sports” (thru TradeSports, for instance) would still be illegal. :(
