House OKs bill to rein in online gambling - GoFuckYourself.com

Well except for state lotteries and horse racing. Hmmmmmmm.

The House voted 317-93 for the bill, which would allow authorities to work with Internet providers to block access to gambling Web sites.

Wonder if this has any future ramifications for porn?

Reps. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and Jim Leach, R-Iowa sponsored the bill. They successfully beat back an amendment to strip out exemptions in the legislation for the horse racing industry and state lotteries.

Leach said the problem is particularly acute for young people who are frequently on the Internet. "Never before has it been so easy to lose so much money so quickly at such a young age," he said.

Yet you'll still allow these same young people to lose their saving in state lotteries and horse racing? Or are you saying that state lotteries and horse racing aren't addictive forms of gambling?

Critics argued that regulating the $12 billion industry would be better than outlawing it. Said Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., "Prohibition didn't work for alcohol. It won't work for gambling."

Now there is a smart person. Considering the deficits we are running up due to the huge tax cuts by Bush you'd think bringing in an extra source of revenue to the US coffers would be welcomed.

If they legalized it then the legit casinos would have websites and peole would go there. There is no way a legit casino is going to rig their website. if they got caught then peole would question how legit their brick and mortor casino is and they would lose HUGE business. If the US casinos were smart they support online gambling instead of fighting it. There are some people that just aren't going to go into a casino EVER. The nearest casino to me is 100 miles away. Also for those that do go to casinos guess what what better way to attract potential visitors than to use a website.

Would allow authorities to work with Internet providers to block access to gambling Web sites?

Sounds like something from China

The answer is yes.
And if they can do for gaming - adult would also be one of the next targets.

from what i have read, they are only going to block US ips, from viewing online gamming sites, which most will get around with proxies. If a casino/betting site is doing what they are supposed to do, then their focus is on traffic that is legal and legit to gamble online

The senate is already saying they will veto this bill when it gets to them.

People want Porn and people want Online Gambling. They will simply request that their ISP unblock it, or go with one who does not.

No silly, the US government restricting internet sites = freedom

The Chinese government restricting internet sites = censorship.

What's so hard to understand about that? Freedom is slavery.
