“There are no new restrictions that prevent Affiliates based in the US from promoting PartyGaming brands to non-US players.”
I’m pretty sure this is TRUE.
The US gov’t has never had a problem with US based companies or affiliates promoting casinos or poker rooms as long as they didn’t target the US players.
MGM Casino set up an offshore casino a few years that only targeted non-us players, and the gov’t and the state of Nevada were fine with it.
If companies such as Party and 888 stop accepting funds from US players, then they will be doing nothing illegal, and thus, it will be legal for affiliates and banks to continue doing business with the likes of Party Poker and 888.
That is my take anyway.
