Wow that is really big news.

I just wonder how they are going to determine the exact location of the player... GPS?
I don't think the folks writing these laws understand the limits of current technology.

But never the less, this is really good news. Especially if DC can pull it off and make some money on the regulation and taxing. If DC makes money, the states will follow...

added -

The gaming would be operated by Intralot, a Greece-based company...

A good company, with a stellar reputation. Looks like a good start.

So reading the article...one....good start D.C. now if only other states could catch on. I know Texas is having a hard time just getting B&M casinos back let alone online things but with that said...is it illegal for Americans to participate in online gambling? I really don't know.
