With election season now officially underway, we all need to consider the most important issues. Namely, what is their position on the Wire Act and internet gambling! Now, former US Vice President Joe Biden has weighed in on his federal gambling policy.

After addressing a crowd in Las Vegas in December, Biden’s campaign told CDC Gaming Reports that he “doesn’t support adding unnecessary restrictions to the gaming industry like the Trump Administration has done.”

Subsequent remarks touched on both traditional and online gambling, including the ongoing legal battle over the latter. The Democratic front runner rebuked the administration for its handling of the Wire Act. He later said he would “…reverse the White House opinion that was then reversed and overruled by the court. The court is correct. That should be the prevailing position.”

That 2018 opinion might not have originated under his tenure, but current AG William Barr has put himself in lockstep with the administration on matters of policy. And despite — or perhaps because of — his history of casino ownership, Donald Trump isn’t necessarily a pro-gambling President. The Office of the Attorney General is, however, one of the first things that would change hands if Biden took office.

Biden’s comments came just a few weeks after fellow candidate Andrew Yang proclaimed his support for legal online gambling. For more on Biden’s comments visit Online Poker Report.
