Actually, no! Even the Financial Anti-Terrorism bill is worded to only affect "unlawful" internet gaming and specfically exempts internet gaming that states may legalize. So it's worded like the original Leach bill The internet gaming portion of Friday's version of the bill starts on p. 101. So one can make a strong case, as gaming lawyer Anthony Cabot did in the Las Vegas Sun article, that the bill may benefit future "lawful" domestic internet gaming. I'm just opposed to the bill because I think it might confuse the issue. Also keeping the heat on will keep them from banning even "lawful" internet gaming. Check out the latest version of the bill. Also keep in mind that often these bills are so watered down by the legislative process that they're meaningless. I understand this is why the Telecommunications Act of 1995 accomplished nothing.
