On Friday night thejim reported on the forums that online gambling ban (H.R. 4411) had been added as a rider to the Safe Port Act (H.R. 4954) by majority leader Bill Frist.

The Safe Port Act was considered extremely popular and passed with a majority vote due to it's primary intention. Representative Jim Leach is quoted as having said: "It is extraordinary how many American families have been touched by large losses from internet gambling." Senator Jon Kyl has called online gambling a "moral threat".
