Law makers step up plans to legalize online poker in the US

[Manne]

The UIGEA is set to come into affect on June 1st, after a six month delay to the original plans. However another piece of legislation is being debated in Congress, one that will legalize and regulate online poker and effectively render the UIGEA null and void. At this time it remains to be seen whether the counter will prove successful with the Washington Post stating “Gambling opponents say Democrats are unlikely to muster support during such a contentious year, but proponents say that changing mores and the prospect of new tax revenue give the effort a better chance than at any other time in recent memory.”
