Raymer on the UIGEA and Online Poker

By Ed Brayton

ADVERTISEMENTS

Greg Raymer did an interview with the National Review Online about the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act and made many of the same points I've made about that law and the legality of online poker. He points out, for example, that the UIGEA did not make online poker illegal so it should not have had any effect on poker sites at all:

One very literal point -- the UIGEA did nothing. It actually has zero legal impact on poker. The UIGEA says that it is illegal to engage in financial transactions with illegal online gambling sites. It doesn't define what those are. Online poker isn't illegal under federal law, so UIGEA doesn't apply to sites that only do poker.
