Introduced by: Robert G. Marshall | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Transactions facilitating Internet gambling voided. Voids any transactions conducted for the purpose of gaming, betting or wagering over the Internet. The Code of Virginia already voids all contracts to wager or repay gambling debts. This bill would also void transactions made for the purpose of gambling over the Internet. The bill provides that no person or entity may recover the amount of such transactions or any other costs related to such transactions; thus, if an Internet transaction is conducted for the purpose of gambling over the Internet, no person or entity may collect any amount of money associated with such gambling activity. Transactions related to the state lottery are excluded from the provisions of this bill.
