I have talked with several lawyers now. Please remember that everyone speaking on this has their own agenda. When Bill Frist stands on the Senate floor and says, “Internet gambling is illegal” he has one agenda. Cardplayer has another, and attornies have their own. The attornies all seem to agree that affiliates may have a problem.
The Feds may also use these 2 statutes if they decide to go after affiliates

No one knows what the DOJ is going to do, and there is no way to know. A lot of that may depend on what happens in the election next month.
