S 474 (105th) was a simple and short ban on Internet gambling. The first version of S 692 (106th), introduced in March of 1999, grew to 28 pages, largely due to its inclusion of exceptions and immunities. Each subsequent version grew in length. HR 3125, introduced on October 21, is up to 37 pages.

The bill now has so many exceptions, exemptions, immunities, loopholes, definitions, and clarifying clauses, that it is now a misnomer to call it the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act. It would be more appropriately called the Federal Internet Gambling Regulatory Code.
