Federal Online Gaming Bill on the Back-Burner?

The most prominent federal online gaming bill, as drafted by Senators Harry Reid (D-NV) and Jon Kyl (R-AZ), is expected to languish in the Senate until 2013 due to the ongoing fiscal cliff battles.

The distractions in the Senate do not spell doom for the bill, necessarily, but it does mean that proponents of legalized online poker will have to wait a little longer to see if this bill has a chance of becoming federal law.

As usual, this process will be worth keeping an eye on for gambling attorneys and those interested in Internet poker law in general.
