Bikeman,
I think your concern about aiding and abetting is understandable but right or wrong, here’s how I see it. The only act made illegal by the law falls on the shoulders of the financials who knowingly transfer funds of U.S. residents to online gaming concerns for gambling purposes.
There are now plenty of off-shore online casinos and poker rooms that consider themselves to be well within their legal rights to accept money players that they want from anywhere in the world, including US residents as long as the comply with the laws and regulations of the country of their domain. I haven’t seen anything in the US gambling enforcement law that contradicts that position.
I can’t see any culpability on our parts as affiliates for running ads that tell prospective customers worldwide that certain online gaming companies exist for the purpose of offering gambling games for adult customers everywhere. All we are doing, to the best of our knowledge, is advertising legitimate companies.
Now, what might be considered by US authorities to be aiding and abetting is to advertise a bank or other financial that is clearly and knowingly violating that part of the law that prohibits the transfer of funds for online gambling.
A possible aiding and abetting ad might read something like this.
“Gamblers – Open your bank account with the ABC Bank of West Undershirt and we will guarantee the transfer of your funds to any online gaming company anywhere”
In this case we are directly aiding a bank that is clearly breaking the new law.
Hang in there!
