It looks as if Congress is once again taking a shot at banning Americans from online gambling. One Virginia Representative, Republican Bob Goodlatte has been joined by a fellow Representative from Virginia, Democrat Rick Boucher, and approximately 100 other members of the U.S. House of Representatives in supporting Goodlatte's resubmittal of his bill from 2000.

The bill not only forbids a gambling business from accepting payments made by credit cards and electronic transfers, but also includes an enforcement mechanism to address gambling operations, located offshore, that use bank accounts in the U. S. Violations of the law would result in five year prison terms, instead of the current two years under the way the Wire Act is currently written.

"For too long our children have been placed in harm's way as online gambling has been permitted to flourish into a $12 billion industry," Goodlatte said in a statement. "The Internet Gambling Prohibition Act brings the current ban against interstate gambling up to speed with the development of new technology."
