“The greatest danger here would seem to be with affiliates. Any American operator can be easily grabbed. This includes sites that don’t directly take bets, but do refer visitors to gaming sites. If the affiliate is paid for those referrals by receiving a share of the money wagered or lost, it would not be difficult to charge the affiliate with violating this law, under the theory of aiding and abetting. Being a knowing accomplice and sharing in the proceeds of a crime make the aider and abettor guilty of the crime itself. The federal government could also charge the affiliate with conspiracy to violate this new Act.”
Gaming attorneys are stating the above. I beleive that it is in every US affiliates interest to think seriously what they want to do. It looks like there could be a complete pull out of the US by the online casinos and poker. One must ask themselves is it worth breaking the new law when revenues will be next to nill.
