I do not see how that applies because the online sites do not offer credit that I am aware of and if what you are saying is true the online sites can have a policy of only accepting “cash” transaction; transfers from a bank account. The law was pushed by GOP Nanny Staters, like Leach and Frist, and other GOPers who were out to protect horse racing (including online waging) like a GOP from western Virginia whose name I forget.

The whole thing was very strange, IIRC. And you are right, I forgot to mention this was clearly an “opportunity” to legislate protectionism.

But you point out something that drives me nuts — people who, in the guise of “morality” use the State as a Nanny. IMHO these are RINOs, but they frequently pass the “purity” test which I fight so hard against.
