Hi All – the response from Microgaming as follows:
“According to the House Bill 1243 http://www.leg.wa.gov/pub/billinfo/2007-08/Pdf/Bills/House%20Passed%20Legislature/1243.PL.pdf the law only provides for a defence if a felony occurs as a result of a breach of the conditions set out in the Bill. Reading the text it is still an offence to transmit or receive gambling information. It is only once prosecuted that the Bill allows ‘recreational purposes’ as a defence. Even so people being prosecuted still must provide evidence that the information in question was for ‘the defendants own enjoyment’.
Therefore there is no change to the blocked 11 states. “
There ya’all have it!
