Default U.S. Now Says All Online Gambling Illegal, Not Just Sports Bets

I don't think this affects horse racing.

"The U.S. Justice Department now says federal law bars all internet gambling, reversing its position from 2011 that only sports betting is prohibited under a law passed 50 years earlier."

For those looking to delve into the legal complexities, start with this primer of the Wire Act and more: https://www.onlinepokerreport.com/33...line-gambling/

And then go to this for an immediate guess as to the implications: https://thenevadaindependent.com/art...ing-into-limbo

And here's a primer on UIGEA: https://www.onlinegamblingsites.com/law/uigea/
