Ok, forget about anything I have said and lets focus only on the hard cold facts:
1. Gambling in USA is regulated by the local Gambling Board/Commission, so if it became legal online – there must be an Online Gambling Board to say who gets in, what the rules are etc. And that gambling board will make sure that only land based casinos will have the right to open an onilne gambling website (if it’s not in the law already).
2. The land based casinos will get together and decide on how that industry will be run – most likely there will be no affiliates like there are now, or even if there are, they will be paid a very small sum. Do you honestly believe that you will get 40% rev share from Harrah’s??? 5% would be the tops!
3. As far as search engines – the top 10 resluts (at least) will be owned by the casinos themselves, due to heavy advertising and their own teams of SEO – so not much there for an affiliate, if there are affiliates.
4. Online casinos without US license will become illegal (there is no law about this right now), and everyone who advertise them – breaking the law.
So as you see, you will be breaking the law big time, if gambling online is legal in the USA.
And the only possible chance the act to the Port security bill to be gone is only one – it does not belong to a Port security bill.
