scandinavii sunt chiar buni. (ma rog, evident nu toti).

Un punct de vedere f interesant despre "legea" asta pe care l-am citit:
It is true that the House passed a bill outlawing online gambling, allowing exceptions for state lotteries, horse racing, and indian gaming (which basically means any tribe in the US can run online gambling sites without being interfered with).
However, it has just been sent to the Senate and the Senator in charge, Kyl, has hinted that he might propose a different bill, instead of leaving the House text alone. For the uninformed, this means that IF the Senate bill passes, which is still a big if, the House and Senate would have to conference to come up with one bill that appeases both chambers, before January 1, 2007.
Given that there are 3 weeks left before August recess, and then a couple weeks in September for votes, and then campaigns gear up and no work gets done, and we can expect little work to get done during the lame duck session, this probably won't be a death blow to online gambling, because there is little chance they'll manage to complete all the steps before the new Congress is sworn in. FYI, Congress has tried to deal with this in both of the last two sessions of Congress and failed both times.
