There's no doubt in my mind that this was heavily supported by the brick-and-mortar casinos, who don't want any potential loss of business thanks to online gambling.  Of course, disguising this as a moral values issue shortly before an election is a great tactic, but I do hope that people begin to call out the government for its blatant support of gambling in some areas (horse racing, state-sponsored lotteries, deals with Indian gambling reservations) and its sudden knee-jerk opposition to online gambling.

A horribly fascist law, BTW.
