DOJ revises position on Wire Act/Internet Gaming
Department Of Justice Flip-Flops On Internet Gambling
On the Friday before the Christmas weekend, the Department of Justice revealed that it had changed one of its most important and long-held positions on Internet gambling, stating that the federal Wire Act of 1961 only applies to sports betting. The new position on the Wire Act marks a huge shift for the Justice Department, which has long relied on the law when asserting that all forms of Internet gambling, especially online poker, is illegal.
