The US Government Takes Aims At Internet Gambling

By

Virginia Rep. Bob Goodlatte will reintroduce a bill this week that would prohibit Internet gambling, a fast-growing industry valued at about $12 billion.

The previous version of Goodlatte’s bill would make it illegal to use the Internet for gambling and give law enforcement officials the authority to stop credit card payments to offshore Internet gambling sites. Goodlatte’s spokeswoman said details about the new bill would be released on Thursday. Other sponsors of the bill will be fellow Virginia Republicans Rick Boucher and Frank Wolf, she said.
