US Rep. Lou Correa (D-Calif.) issued a statement into the Congressional record Thursday to introduce HR 4308. In his remarks, he said he filed the bill to do what lawmakers would have done in 1988 if online gaming was around. That’s when Congress passed the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. However, it wouldn’t authorize any type of gaming, leaving that to the states.

“This bill would clarify that, for purposes of tribal government gaming, the location of the wager occurs at the location of the server, unless a state and Indian tribe otherwise agree,” Correa said in his remarks. “Making this clarification will keep intact the current system of tribal gaming and eliminate any frivolous litigation.”
