Internet Gambling Payments Prohibition Act

H.R. 2579 would prohibit gambling businesses from accepting credit cards, electronic fund transfers, or checks from individuals participating in internet gambling. By restricting these payment methods, the bill aims to prevent the use of the U.S. financial system for online wagering and establishes civil and criminal penalties for businesses that violate the law. It also encourages federal agencies to work with international partners to address money laundering and other crimes associated with online gambling operations.
