| 07-4914 | Prohibition on Funding of Unlawful Internet Gambling | Proposed Rule | This notice is published jointly by the Departmental Offices of the Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board") (collectively, the "Agencies") and proposes rules to implement applicable provisions of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (the "Act"). In accordance with the requirements of the Act, the proposed rule designates certain payment systems that could be used in connection with unlawful Internet gambling transactions restricted by the Act. The proposed rule requires participants in designated payment systems to establish policies and procedures reasonably designed to identify and block or otherwise prevent or prohibit transactions in connection with unlawful Internet gambling. As required by the Act, the proposed rule also exempts certain participants in designated payment systems from the requirements to establish such policies and procedures because the Agencies believe it is not reasonably practical for those participants to identify and block, or otherwise prevent or prohibit, unlawful Internet gambling transactions restricted by the Act. Finally, the proposed rule describes the types of policies and procedures that non-exempt participants in each type of designated payment system may adopt in order to comply with the Act and includes non-exclusive examples of policies and procedures which would be deemed to be reasonably designed to prevent or prohibit unlawful Internet gambling transactions restricted by the Act. The proposed rule does not specify which gambling activities or transactions are legal or illegal because the Act itself defers to underlying State and Federal gambling laws in that regard and determinations under those laws may depend on the facts of specific activities or transactions (such as the location of the parties). | 2007-10-04 | 2007 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2007/10/04/07-4914/prohibition-on-funding-of-unlawful-internet-gambling | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-10-04/pdf/07-4914.pdf | Federal Reserve System; Treasury Department | 188,497 | This notice is published jointly by the Departmental Offices of the Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board") (collectively, the "Agencies") and proposes rules to implement... | 1505-AB78 |
