The Iowa Lottery is urging Congress to reject proposals to authorize federal regulation of Internet gambling.
Lottery CEO Terry Rich recently traveled to Washington, D.C. to lobby on the issue with the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries. Rich detailed his efforts in a report to members of the Iowa Legislature’s Government Oversight Committee.
Rich says the lotteries emphasized that the federal government should not infringe on states’ rights to implement and regulate internet gaming.
What do you think? Should the federal government regulate Internet gambling instead of states?

Internet gambling should be controlled by the federal government as interstate commerce to avoid a hodge podge set of rules set up by each state. But when I lived in Calif internet gambling was legal and this one site has both free and money betting available and both the slots and dice game would allow you to win quite often, but as soon as real money was being played for, at both slots and dice you then won less then 10% of the time.
But given that if your not a high roller and you dont mind losing 10 or 20 bucks , it is more fun to play at home on the computer then to travel to a real casino and have to fight the crowd to get up to the dice table.
It should be controlled State to State. The Feds have their hands in enough already! They already spend like we’ll never run out. No sense giving them the purse strings for this too!
