There is a ruling by the FCC that the internet is not at all the same as the telephone line. (this was made in conjunction with the telephony issues sometime a year or even longer ago, and it is very clear in purposefully establishing a distinction between the two)
There is also a federal law that makes advertising fall under the free speech amendment. Advertising is free speech. We haven’t abolished that yet!
Of course I am not a lawyer and am just entertaining you folks here.
1. You are basically working to prove that there is no federal law regarding gambling on the Internet. If that’s the case, then the Washington Law has precedence.
2. Advertising is not fully protected under the 1st Amendment. It only has partial free speech protection.
