Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act officially takes effect today
Quote:
Today the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), which was passed in 2006 as part of the SAFE Port Act, officially takes effect. What does that mean for online gamblers in the United States?
Not much, to be honest. The law makes financial institutions responsible for blocking transactions related to ?unlawful? online gambling, though it doesn?t outline what is unlawful. UIGEA does not constitute a federal ban on online gambling and no such ban exists, though some states do have a ban on the books. Players cannot be punished under UIGEA; only the financial institutions can.
