I work in the DFS industry. I worked in the Poker industry when UIGEA was passed. I know UIGEA well. I killed my last life and birthed my current one.
The first version of UIGEA was introduced in
1998. It kicked around congress for seven years, constantly changing until it was passed in 2006. Even then it was shoe-stringed to a must-happen anti-terrorist bill at the last minute of a closing session of Congress at 1AM of Saturday morning, September 30th, 2006. Oddly if 9/11 tragedy never happened, we'd probably still don't have UIGEA, and certainly not FanDuel.
Our Congress pretty much doesnt work at all, and getting something passed takes an act of God and then an act of Congress.
And I don't believe in God.
(That being said, you can never be too prepared and I hear your point.)
