BBC NEWS | Business | New system will 'block' gambling
The US government is tipped to propose a system to identify and stop payment to gambling sites, say specialists.
The news comes after the US Congress passed a bill cracking down on internet gambling, sending shares in UK gambling sites plummeting on Monday.
By Monday close, Partygaming shares fell 58%, 888 Holdings tumbled by 26%, and Sportingbet shares fell 64%.
Some UK firms are looking at stopping bet-taking from US customers if the bill is signed into law.
It is expected that US President George W Bush could sign the bill into law within the next two weeks...
Because I'm too stupid to make my own choices about my own money. I need to be "protected".
