Anti-Online Gambling Bill Passes Same Day As MGM Mirage Opens Online Casino

from the it's-nice,-but-you-can't-gamble dept

Congress has passed a bill designed to prevent people from using credit cards for offshore online gambling at nearly the same time as the MGM Mirage has launched the first online casino run by a major American casino. Coincidence? Probably. However, I still wonder how much longer the US will keep online gambling illegal.
