RELATED: A news article (in French) implies, between the lines, that BetFair (who always respected the US laws) should be later granted a license to operate in the US, the day it becomes legal, while InTrade-TradeSports (who didn’t) should not be granted a license. Hummm…

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.

Yet another Barney Frank’s bill. Just a bill, as of today.

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