Regulated online gambling in the US clears committee

By a 41-22 the vote passes on to the next step.  While there are still a few steps to go it is looking entirely possible that gaming in the United States could be regulated as soon as this session.  This is obviously good news for virtual poker players everywhere.

I've not researched it much, but does anyone know how it is that some of the online rooms operate here in the USA and others have (I think) decided that they are not permitted to do this?

I guess FTP, PS, etc. are running unregulated now and potentially in violation of the law?  And they are taking their chances, but there is no enforcement to stop them?

 

And this new regulation would make it clear that it is okay for the online rooms to operate in the USA?

Yeah, a lot of rooms back away when the UIGEA bill came about.  Partypoker put a stop to it, and a lot of other networks.  Basically just left PS and FTP and Cereus.

That's right, stickin' it to the man!
