In my opinion, the new law places the burden on U.S. banks and U.S. credit card companies. “Online gambling” is still as legal as it was before, because the Wire Act was not amended.
Also, the language says that banks and credit cards can no longer be used to fund “unlawful” internet gambling. But since the Wire Act wasn’t amended, this means (to me) that “unlawful” internet gambling does not include poker, bingo, and casinos, since they were widely considered to be legal before.
Does anyone else see it this way?
That’s what I thought, unless I didn’t read a section I should have.
Linking to an online gambling site might be a problem… and accepting a payment might be a problem, but I see what you posted as you do.
