Betting on skill games remains distinct from protected skill play when money is risked on uncertain outcomes.
Entry 34 of List II is analysed as extending to betting on uncertain outcomes even when the underlying game substantially involves skill.

State laws may target wagering in cyber space, while public-order competence requires a real and proximate nexus with community-wide disruption.
