excerpt:

A major player in the online gambling world has decided to endorse the recent bill that congress passed attempting to clarify the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.

The bill, which is titled H.R. 6663 or the Unlawful Internet Enforcement Clarification and Implementation Act UIGEACIA, was introduced to congress by Pete Sessions last week and will attempt to define what falls under the scope unlawful internet gambling.

The Remote Gambling Association announced on Friday it would be supporting the bill on the basis that it will target online sportsbooks and online sports betting not online poker. The RGA is hopeful that the new bill will allow currently exiled online poker rooms like PartyPoker, Titan Poker and Pacific Poker back into the U.S. market.
