Internet Gambling has been illegal in the US prior to this legislation. This law stops US Banks from processing Credit Card charges to known offshore gambling sites.

It crosses state lines and national boundaries, and thus falls into Federal jurisdiction.

"I don't gamble but, why exactly is the Federal involved in this?" The cynic in me says this is an attempt to protect our domestic gambling industry from foreign competition. But I'm sure there will now be a move to eliminate it as well because, obviously, the only agenda here is to protect the American family from the potential devastation of gambling. /s
