Unregulated gambiling operations that could defraud the consumer.
That's why.

If anyone enjoyed gambiling online I'll take your credit card and you can call me. You guess a card and I'll tell you if it's right or not.

The customer is already protected from fraud under the law.

By the way, to Slon and thatguywho, while you may keep boohooing over Congress stepping on your toes because people are "simpletons and morons", the bill is a big deal when it comes to the average citizen and it won't make much difference because it'll be difficult to enforce. You guys should honestly cool it and follow my favorite motto, "Don't Panic." When Congress actually starts stepping over it's bounds and really threatening what America is about, people will react in droves.

That having been said, laws designed to protect people from themselves for the large part are unnecessary since it is the responsibility of the individual to avoid self-violence (whether it is physical or financial). People who want to harm themselves are unbalanced.
