After reading this thread, I decided to check out the youbet.com website. Reading the FAQ’s drove home an even greater anger towards the US government’s incomprehensible hypocrisy and blatant self-serving motivations.
Can I wager via telephone?
Yes, you may use the same account for both online and phone wagering. To place a phone bet call 1-888-YOUBET1 (1-888-968-2381).
Huh??? Placing a wager via TELEPHONE??? How is this legal with the Wire Act in place?

On a side note, the offices of youbet.com are only a few miles from my home. In the days before this US legal nonsense happened, I’d pass by the youbet.com offices and think how cool it was that they were local…not a lot of industry-related people living where I live. Now when I pass by, all I feel is disgust.
