As far as Rival goes, they knew this before they even came on the scene – we are talking UIGEA which is what – 5 years old now? This is most certainly no news to them.
They had examples like Sportingbet where David spent years under house arrest in the US after being arrested at a US airport when passing through.
It’s not like this is news. I am quite sure everyone’s lawyer has informed them about all this years ago.
