Did the Congress just legalize online gambling?! That's what columnist for the Kansas City Star Gaming Blog believes. π
if Congress couldn't define what *illegal online gambling* is, the banks won't be able to either. :thumbsup
Anyway - more good news for online gamblers is .....online gambling ban don't become effective for another year (December 2009) which allows plenty of time for a repeal from the new (Obama) Congress and The Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association, which is now challenging the UIGEA policy enforcement in the US courts.

UPDATE: A spokesman for the Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative panned the rules and called on Obama and Congress to *relieve this burden on the financial service sector and regulate the industry.* While Obama has been silent on the issue, Vice President-elect Biden has an indirect connection to the industry. Until recently - his son Hunter was a lobbyist who worked with a law firm that represents Russ DeLeon, the billionaire founder of PartyGaming.com, a popular online gambling destination.

I'll be curious now to see if some of the poker sites start doing business with American customers again. Sites like Party Poker or Pacific Poker.

Obama has already stated his intention to keep Internet freedom from being violated by overzealous political figures.
