I admit that I have not studied the bill too closely, but it seems hard to believe that there should be risk to US based affliliates to promote casinos to legal jurisdictions.

Please tell me that things have not gotten this bad for the great folks in the Land of the Free…
Well the analysis from attorney Nelson Rose is what is the most troublesome. Although it does not say outside or inside the US (this is where it is merky.) His statement was:

“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.”

It’s merely interpretation I guess.
