I think some people here are reading too much into the Frank Bill. IF the bill gets enough co-sponsors to move on to the next round, it will be amended tremendously before a final version is voted on. I think one of the main reasons a Bill, any Bill, to legalize and regulate Internet gambling in the US goes through will be because of the WTO issue, and they are surely not going to create another WTO problem by excluding foreign entities. If the foreign entities are then included, they will keep their affiliate programs because they will have to compete with the US companies that way. The US companies will then in turn have to offer a good affiliate program if they want to seriously knock out the offshore places.
Also, say the US companies come in and only offer 10-15%. I’d take that any day of the week over 40% of fake stats. At least the 10-15% would be of the real stats because their would be accountability, unlike the situation now where offshore companies can basically lie all they want about their stats with no harm brought upon them.
