The first of what will be many problems with the UIGEA has occurred in New Hampshire. The ambiguity of the UIGEA has credit card companies blocking transactions for the state's lottery. Now obviously, the lottery is legal. However, due to the language of the vague law, the credit card companies are erring on the side of caution. Full story here.
What does this mean? It means that our fearless moral crusaders who are looking to help and keep safe the children of our country have essentially pulled money out of the school system. Great job! Not only that, the off shore companies that run the very sites they were trying to hurt, have already found ways around this law. That's cool though, these kids will need something to do when their schools close.
