Just added to the above Gambling911 article:
The banking industry, which was overwhelmingly against the measure to restrict online gambling, has already stated they would not have any way of monitoring the use of electronic checks for the purposes of betting online.
The banking sector has voiced strong opposition to provisions that require banks to block electronic funds transfers or e-check payments to online gambling sites. These provisions are essentially broad and unenforceable, the banks claim; moreover, even if it were possible to surmount technical obstacles, prospective gamblers could easily use alternative means to finance such transactions.
Maybe this is a good thing? :dontget:
