Eleven states have enacted some form of anti-online gambling legislation? Not even close. Where did you get that idea?

Technically only nine states have enacted some form of anti-online gambling legislation. Although not explicitly covered in New York and New Jersey laws, recent prosecutions have set a precedent whereby aspects of online gambling were interpreted by the courts as a criminal act. At this point Microgaming is banning service to New York and New Jersey residents (along with the residents of the other nine states) because of those legal interpretations.

I'm a lifelong Massachusetts resident, liberal Democrat and poker player. The governor is going to pay a huge price for this nonsense and it says here he'll reverse course quickly:
