The bill includes exemptions for Internet gambling on horse racing as well as state lotteries, though Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-NV) sponsored a failed amendment to remove the exemptions [press release]. Under the horse racing provision, betting operators will not be prohibited from activities allowed under the Interstate Horseracing Act [text], which set up rules for interstate betting on horse racing in the 1970s. The bill now moves to the Senate, where Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) [official website] said Tuesday that he plans to aggressively pursue the bill [press release] on the Senate floor. AP has more.
and from other article:
Analysts at Dresdner Kleinwort added that there may not be time for the Bill to gain Senate backing with just 15 business days to the summer recess and 32 days before the mid-term elections in November.
Lets hope Sen. Jon Kyl dont have succes
