An Analysis of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006

[Reel Deal]

I love this quote from the article:

"Frank Catania, former director of gaming enforcement in New Jersey and president of Catania Consulting Group, calls the law "a sham" that won't stop online betting in the U.S. "There are so many alternate means of payment that it is not going to stop what is happening here," says Catania. "We are going to be spending a lot of money for enforcement, and it is going to be worthless." Enforcing the act will cost about $2 million between 2007 and 2011, according to a May 26 Congressional Budget Office report."

Way to go Bill... all you're doing is costing us money for no good reason! Fucking idiot.

Edit: one other thing to point out here... if the Congressoinal Budget Office is only tagging $2M for enforcement over a 5 year period, that's peanuts and shows that they have no intention of seriously enforcing this Act.
