CNBC - MORE DETAIL ON UPCOMING GAMBLING PROGRAM
(Update)
11 December 2009
Content will include online aspects and US
legislative situation
The December 16 CNBC program on illegal gambling (see
the InfoPowa report earlier this week) will include the
online aspects of gambling and the current US
legislative situation, according to a CNBC update
published here:

Although the
main thrust of the report seems to be focused on sportsbetting in the USA, the pre-screening
blurb includes the following information: "From sports
betting to online casinos to high-stakes poker, a high
percentage of the betting is placed illegally, according
to the soon-to-air report."
The publicity release
notes that the program will conclude with the debate
over legalising gambling. "It's an argument that is
gaining traction in Washington and CNBC speaks with
congressmen from both sides of the argument -
Congressman Jim McDermott, a Democrat from Washington
State and the sponsor of a bill that would regulate and
tax online card games and Congressman Bob Goodlatte, a
Republican from Virginia and author of "The Unlawful
Internet Gambling Enforcement Act."
World Sports
Exchange founder Jay Cohen is also interviewed as one of
the online offshore pioneers in Internet sportsbetting
who returned to the United States to fight the "servers
offshore" argument in court and ended up serving a 2
year sentence under the outdated Wire Act of 1962.
