House Committee to Look at Poker Bill

When the UIGEA was passed in America not all lawmakers were happy about it. Some, like Rep. Barney Frank took action by sponsoring a bill that would counter the UIGEA. The House Financial Services Committee is scheduled to take a look at this bill, H.R. 5767, and make a decision on whether or not to pass it. If the bill is passed into law it should counter at the "flaws" in the UIGEA. The UIGEA is an ambitious and hard to enforce law that caused many online poker rooms to leave the lucrative US market.
