Poker players in the US are keeping their fingers crossed as the number of co-sponsors for Barney Frank’s Internet Gaming Bill HR 2267 reaches 54. R. Betsy Markey of Colorado, R. Russ Carnahan of Missouri, and R. Bill Pascrell of New Jersey added their signatures to the bill last Friday. The bill will be presented in the fall by Frank and so far the support he’s received from Democrats is very encouraging and so is the interest that many Republicans have over internet freedom and finally being able to reap some of the benefits of taxing online gaming.
