Thanks for the list, dhayman!

Many of those suggestions I have considered already… some of them I have got legal advise on:

@dhayman] In the event of an audit of your books, only show bank direct deposits from NETeller (or whoever you use) no need to divulge the sources.[/QUOTE wrote:

Done and done.

dhayman wrote:

Claim all income, and pay all taxes

Done, done, and done!

dhayman wrote:

I have a legal disclaimer on my site (make sure you have one)

Done… but I hear they will laugh at it as the arrest me. Disclaimers have about 2% protection value.

dhayman wrote:

My site doesn’t involve gambling, only information

Unfortunately, the law specifically addresses “gambling information” as breaking the law.

dhayman wrote:

I “advertise” sites that aren’t hosted in the U.S.

They don’t care… I live here, so “sorry about your luck” is how they feel.

dhayman wrote:

My sites are information-based sites. Freedom of speech grants me that privilege. Alcohol, tobacco, pornography, etc., are permitted.

Commercial speech is far less broad in it’s preotection, so again, their stance is : “sorry about your luck”.

@dhayman]No one from U.S. pays me directly only non-U.S. entities[/QUOTE wrote:

Problem is: All they have to due is send one agent through my links to make a deposit. Busted: Aiding and abbetting.

All my customers are from outside the U.S. (let them prove otherwise)

Won’t matter, see above =0)

dhayman wrote:

1961 Wire Act is very ambiguous on how it applies to Internet. Use this as a basis to challenge the Washington State law.

Except there is now a State Law in place. They don’t need the Wire Act.

dhayman wrote:

Horse-racing betting online in U.S. is allowed.

Yup, and here in Washington, too! However, the online Horse Racing tracks are US based, state regulated, and pay TAXES TO WASHINGTON (click! Lights go on! LOL!!!)

American Indians have exclusive gaming rights.

They’re the ones who caused all this shit in the first place!

dhayman wrote:

How can anyone determine if my customers are from U.S. or another country ? Why can’t I advertise for players outside the U.S., as long as I pay taxes on earnings ?

Again, they don’t care. I live here, I have a portal, I go to jail.

Fidelity and Merryl Lynch are invested in SportingBet company. Why is this any different from what I do ? Fidelity and Merryl have offices in Washington State.

Now that is actually a very good point! =0)

If moving offshore was an easy fix, I would do it yesterday.

I have a plan, and by tonight I will be in compliance.

Last one out, please turn out the lights…
