Rep. Leach: Mr. Carruthers is correct that there is some imprecision in the Wire Act, which dates back to 1961. But there is little imprecision in the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1993, which stipulates that it is “unlawful for a person to sponsor, operate, or advertise … any gambling scheme … based on games in which amateur or professional athletes participate.”
When he calls for “regulation of our industry,” he is really suggesting that gambling companies should be allowed to do legally what they are currently doing illegally. He is also suggesting not only that the law of the U.S. (the above two referenced statutes) but similar laws that currently exist in all 50 states be overturned.
Just about every casino in Vegas has a Sportsbook where you can gamble on Both amateur AND professional sports.
gambling companies should be allowed to do legally what they are currently doing illegally.
Sportsbetting may be illegal in some fashions, but there is no law against casino gambling online.
Why is the man constantly trying to get a law passed if there is one already?
