Focal,
The general line of thought is that if I am receiving a percent of loss, that directly ties me to illegal proceeds. Now, PROOVING that would be tricky, since I am paid to my bank account via NETeller and no casino names are attached.
There would have to be many subpoenas served in Canada and other countries to actually PROOVE my payments came from illegal loses. Can they PROOVE my players were from the USA? Can they PROOVE those dollars went to NETeller? It would be very messy, but not impossible. BUT, they may be able to freeze all my cash while they investigated.
If I had a CPA Deal or a direct placement deal, they may still investigate me. But the PROOVING IT aspect would be even harder… and freezing my cash would be almost impossible, since I am not taking a direct cut off the player losses.
Also, doing a percent-of-profit deal may (just may) make me elligible to be charged with “aiding” or “conspiracy”… again, a long stretch. But in Washington State, who else are they going to charge? Who else up here is a webmaster with 30 videos online and running a casino webmaster association?
This is why I drink. :drunk2:
