On what basis have they been ordered to shut down? I thought the DOJ just stated last month that online gambling is not illegal. (based on their wire act comments)
More of the same – if we can’t get money from this then no one can.
Based on the wire act it is not illegal, based on UIGEA it is. The processing of transactions for US players is the hitch.
I’m glad you brought this up because at LAC the US wire act decision was all everyone talked about while I just shook my head at the lack of understanding of US laws. Until there is a federal law saying online gambling is legal it will be considered illegal. Some think the states will make it legal on their own but I see this being shut down on a federal level.
I also learned a bit more about the Everleaf decision and I’m hoping to confirm everything sometime later today but I can tell you that from what I’ve learned this may not be as it appears on the surface. I’m sorry but at this point I can’t get into the details. As I’ve mentioned before I only post facts and until I can confirm things it’s all rumors.
