'Flaws' in internet gambling law subject of Congressional hearing

Press Release,  Sunday, March 9, 2008 at 10:05:02 PM

The law was intended to deter illegal Internet gambling activity. Meanwhile, support for legislation that would regulate Internet gambling continues to gain momentum as Congressman George Miller (D-CA), one of the most influential members of Congress, signed on last week as a co-sponsor of the bill introduced by Congressman Frank.
