“The greatest danger here would seem to be with affiliates. Any American operator can be easily grabbed. This includes sites that don’t directly take bets, but do refer visitors to gaming sites. If the affiliate is paid for those referrals by receiving a share of the money wagered or lost, it would not be difficult to charge the affiliate with violating this law, under the theory of aiding and abetting. Being a knowing accomplice and sharing in the proceeds of a crime make the aider and abettor guilty of the crime itself. The federal government could also charge the affiliate with conspiracy to violate this new Act.”

Correct me if I’m wrong but would the US have the authority to demand from the offshore casinos their private information of their players? I know that it the casinos were located in the states they would have to provide to law enforcement at any level such information but offshore casinos are not in this jurisdiction and do not have to comply with our laws.
