This is from the summary attached to the Kyl bill that was sent to House Judiciary committee. It specifies the home as being a non-public place and therefore not eligible for the closed loop system.

<<State and Local Lotteries.-- State and local governments would also
be prohibited from using the Internet or other technology covered by the
bill to provide access to the lottery in any place that is not public.
While no governments currently plan to use the Internet for these
purposes, as technology expands and becomes more widely used in the home
(a nonpublic place), it is possible that, in the absence of this bill,
some would offer such options. >>

I believe the Goodlatte bill, H.R. 3125 allows the use of home computers and this is one of the parts of the bill, the key part from the standpoint of ELOT and MDIH, that would have to be resolved. I assume that if the companies could come up with some kind of secure, proprietary software or system management that would overcome the objection on home use.
