This was a big issue for me getting into this industry. I’m not employed in criminal justice, nor do I plan too be, I just wanted to make sure that I wasn’t doing anything illegal. It seems pretty much agreed by US affiliates that advertising or promoting gambling sites is not expressly illegal. You can look at all of the television and magazine advertising that the poker rooms do for proof of that stance.
However, the DOJ stance is that it “might” be illegal, and have been on a fear campaign to keep companies like Visa, Mastercard, Google, Yahoo, Clear Channel, Esquire and others from dealing with online gambling sites. The US Congress has failed a couple of times to pass a prohibition on online gambling in the US, and Casino City asked for a judgement on wether the activity was legal or illegal in a court of law. The DOJ ignored the request for this ruling. So, it’s still gray area as to wether it is even illegal for US citizens to gamble online or not.
While this isn’t information pertaining specifically to Canada, maybe some of it helps. Don’t really know the legal differences between the US and Canada.
That said, if I were pursing a career in criminal justice, I would probably not risk it, even though I don’t think you would ever really have an issue.
