Online Gambling Not Banned Yet

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bet-while-you-can dept.

For the moment, the rush to legislate the ban on online gambling has been slowed. Senator John Warner, (R) from Virginia, has refused to allow a ban on online gambling to be tacked onto an upcoming defense bill. Opponents of online gambling were hoping to tack their measure on to a "must pass" bill but will apparently be forced to delay. Congress recesses in one week, giving only a few days left if this measure is to be passed before the November 7th elections.

    I wonder how a online gambling ban would affect gambling in Second Life since users can exchange SL$s for US$s.
