Exclamation A Ray of Hope... MAYBE?!

Heavy bets on PartyGaming in hope of a US climbdown
by Bryce Elder


PartyGaming provided the day’s main talking point amid hopes that America’s ban on internet gambling transactions could be challenged.

Shares in the poker room operator spiked by as much as 20 per cent on talk that a US Congressman, Barney Frank, was preparing an attempt to have the legislation repealed.
A spokesman confirmed that Mr Frank, who is chairman of Congress’s Financial Services Committee, was “not in favour” of the restrictions facing online gambling by the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Bill, but insisted that there was “nothing on the agenda right now” to reverse the bill. He refused to say whether the Congressman was considering such a move.

I guess the rumors are Congressman Barney Frank, Democrat chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, wants to repeal the gambling ruling and has called for a two-year amnesty.

This is exactly what we need to happen. I can't see it but would be great
