Rep. Joe Barton Introduces New Bill That Would Regulate Online Poker in the US
There has been a flurry of activity in the United States Congress concerning iGaming with two congressmen introducing two polarizing bills to the Senate and the House of Representatives.
To start things off, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham reintroduced the Restoring America's Wire Act (RAWA) in the US Senate on Wednesday. If the bill is passed, it is believed that it would not only prevent regulated online poker on a federal level, but on a state level as well - including for the three states (Delaware, Nevada, and New Jersey) that already regulate online poker.
