Any bill will allow states to opt out. The status quo now is offering poker games online is illegal in all 50 states, so the Frank bill letting it be so it could be illegal in less than 50 states is a slam dunk improvement.
The Wexler bill is better. No matter what though there will never be a federal law that forces all states to allow some type of gambling, at least not for decades.
The best that we can hope for is any state that offers gambling, especially poker, will end up following the WTO ruling and not be allowed to prevent international companies from offering what local companies (or the state) do.
