US Democratic Presidential Candidate Joe Biden Opposes Wire Act’s Unnecessary Restrictions on Gaming Industry

Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden has said that he “doesn’t support adding unnecessary restrictions to the gaming industry like the Trump Administration has done.”
While he is not coming out in support of full legalisation like Yang did, Biden did make it known that he sides with the New Hampshire federal judge that overturned, at least temporarily, the Department of Justice’s new interpretation of the Wire Act.
At the start of 2019, the DOJ released its latest interpretation of the Wire Act, which basically stated that any interstate online gambling would be deemed illegal. In 2011, the DOJ ruled that the Wire Act only applied to interstate sports gambling.
Biden said that if he were elected President, his DOJ would operate under the 2011 interpretation, which would not interfere with the current progress being made in the only gaming space.
