from a story I just read …
Regulating Online Gambling
Analysts said it is difficult to regulate online gambling, with so many people logging on from their private homes. But the U.S. government is not ignoring the issue.
A grand jury has convened in Missouri to investigate media companies who run ads on sports talk shows to draw U.S. citizens to overseas online gambling sites. Sinclair said this action is making an impact.
“The Department of Justice may be trying to establish a case of aiding and abetting sports betting by running ads,” Sinclair said. “Just the fear of that alone has caused many companies to pull these ads.”
