Summary
Unlawful Internet Gambling Funding Prohibition Act - Directs Federal functional regulators to prescribe and enforce regulations requiring any designated payment system to establish policies and procedures reasonably designed to identify and prevent restricted transactions. Defines a "restricted transaction" as any transaction or transmittal to anyone engaged in the business of betting or wagering in connection with another person's participation in unlawful Internet gambling of credit, electronic fund transfers, checks, or the proceeds of any other form of financial transaction as regulators may prescribe. Requires regulators to consider exempting restricted transactions if the regulators find that it is not reasonably practical to identify and block, or otherwise prevent, such transactions.
