You can’t just walk into court and say “I challenge this law”. Someone has to actually be charged with breaking the law before any challenge can be mounted.
The legislation was well-crafted in that it stayed away from attempting to criminalize the act of gambling online itself. The hope of the proponents of the bill was that the implied threat would be persuasion enough to force many online gaming companies to sever ties with the US long before anyone was actually charged with breaking the law. They were right. It worked brilliantly.
They don’t want to criminalize online gambling because
one day the landbased casinos will go in for the kill.
