District of Columbia and states want to legalize state by state, online gambling

John Moe Aug 15, 2011

Most are doing it for the revenue in hard economic times. Iowa, which has a surplus, says it is considering legalizing it to protect its citizens from other, more dangerous forms of illegal online gambling. Iowa would rather you gamble in a safe, sensible, Iowan manner in Iowa. Iowa is totally like that one kid in high school’s mom who let everyone drink at her house as long as you didn’t go anywhere*.

  • You didn’t know that mom? Just me? Okay fine. It was the 80s. Whatever.
