H.R. 556, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Prohibition Act, passed without a voice vote since no opposition called for a vote. However the text of the bill still excludes any internet gambling legalized by a state.

So it just makes things more difficult for internet casinos based overseas.

The backers got a bill passed but it's a Pyrrhic victory because the price for passage was such a weak bill that it's toothless. And they had to confront the issue peripherally with credit cards.
