On July 11 2006 the Internet Gambling Prohibition and Enforcement Act, H.R. 4411 was approved by the House of Representatives today by 317 to 93 votes. To pass into law it will now need to be approved by the Senate and the President. The bill will make it illegal to use credit cards and fund transfers from banks to settle internet wagers and, it will update the Wire Act to specifically prohibit online gambling, allowing the authorities to work with Internet service providers to block access to online gambling web sites.

Nevada was the first state to legalize casino gambling. I guess its only fitting that they become the first state to legalize online gambling as well.

On Monday June 4, 2001 the Nevada legislature passed a bill establishing a legal structure for companies that want to provide Internet gambling. Under the provisions of the bill a company would be required to put down a $500,000 licensing fee and a yearly $250,000 renewal fee in order to offer legal Internet gambling services.

So, do I understand right that if those " foreign * trash * " sites elect to work under the Nevada law, then everything is okee-dokee ...???
