UIGEA 20 Years Later: Ep. 91 of Low Rollers Podcast ft. John Pappas (Sponsored by TheLines)

This week marks the 20th anniversary of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA) — legislation that upended online gambling in the United States.

In this week's episode of the Low Rollers podcast, sponsored by TheLines.com, host Eric Raskin chats with John Pappas — CEO of Corridor Consulting and former executive director of the Poker Players Alliance — about UIGEA. They discuss the scandal and political motives that drove the bill into law, plus the response to the new legislation. They also touch on how it impacted the online poker industry, led to several departures from the U.S. market, and shaped online gambling 20 years later.

Additionally, this episode covers the evolution of gambling on mobile devices, the Super Bowl XLVII power outage, Raskin's attempt to climb FanDuel Casino's Win Boost Leaderboard, and federal investigations into gambling advertisements.
