Imagine that MGMOnlineCasino.com lets you sign up under them and an underage gambler visits the casino through your banner. Considering this is America, the parents will sue the casino and the affiliate. Then the casino will sue the affiliate for “advertsing to minors”, criminal charges may be brought against the affiliate for promoting gambling to minors etc.
While I agree regulation will probably bring some unforseen obstacles, I don’t think this will be one of them. It will be the casinos responsibility to apply safeguards against minors. There is technology available. I don’t think there will be regulation without that. Especially with Rev Hogans son in the limelight. It is one of the keypoints in discussions with the powers that be.
