Message: [QUOTE="Stu_Ungar, post: 1105333, member: 39779"] Yes.. if memory serves then UIGEA had the online poker provisions specifically removed because of the wording of the Wire Act. The wording meant that if an existing bricks and mortar casino used the internet, or other wire means, to self promote, it was in danger of breaking the Wire Act. If the casino in question provided contact details then it could be construed that it had obtained the wager in a way which broke the law. Thus the Wire Act was not extended to cover online casinos because of the possible backlash which bricks and mortar casinos might face. [/QUOTE]
