Texas Congressman Joe Barton is the latest Representative to introduce a Federal Online Poker bill. Barton’s bill would legalize online poker at the Federal level, while allowing states that aren’t interested to opt out of iGaming entirely.
In a statement to the press, Barton described poker players as being as American as Mom and apple pie and in need of protection from unscrupulous offshore operators.
What do you think? Should online poker be a county-wide legislation, or state-by-state choice?
