Similarly, any state which prohibits Internet gambling would be imposing its law on other states. For example, a proposed bill in Nebraska would make it unlawful for any Internet business to offer its citizens the opportunity to gamble. [120] This effectively would deny a Nevada casino which operates an on-line gambling business (in a state where such activity may not be prohibited) from conducting any business due to the stifling effect resulting from the company's inability to block Nebraskans from accessing its web site. [121] The business would simultaneously incur the risk that a person in Nebraska accesses the site, thereby subjecting the business to prosecution in the state. [122] Thus, Nebraska's proposed prohibition against Internet gambling results in an imposition of its law on businesses in other states where Internet gambling may be legal.

Consequently, arguing that the national interest has been injured or that gambling is harmful to humanity likely would not succeed.
