12-Jul-06. U.S. moving to limit access to online gambling. Lethbridge Herald, B8.

The House of Representatives passed legislation on Tuesday that would prevent gamblers from using credit cards to bet online and could block access to gambling web sites. The legislation would clarify and update current law to spell out that most gambling is illegal online. There would be exceptions for state-run lotteries and horse racing. Passage of the legislation in the Senate is uncertain as Republican leaders have not considered the measure a high priority.
