The U.S. DOJ has announced that the Wire Act only applies to sports and race wagering, paving the way for regulation of other forms of online gambling.
The California Senate has decided not to vote on intrastate online gambling this year, but its reasons for the delay are not sound.
The DOJ's actions impacted U.S. citizens who played online poker, which is not illegal, and froze the targeted companies' ability to do business in jurisdictions where their operations are entirely legal.
