According to Business Week, Rep. Bob Goodlatte said the UIGE Act is not the ultimate blow to online gambling he had hoped for and that he intends to continue pushing for a separate piece of legislation that would change the wording of the 1961 Wire Act and clarify once and for all that various forms of online gambling are illegal.
“We need to modernise the Wire Act, which is 45 years old, and does not apply to all forms of gambling,” said the Virginia Congressman.
