The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in 2006 enforced prohibitions on internet gambling based on a congressional finding that "internet gambling is a growing cause of debt collection problems for insured depository institutions and the consumer credit industry."

Specifically, this legislation requires banks and credit card companies in the United States to block electronic transactions relating to internet gambling.
