Definitely agree !
Are you folks US citizens? Did the legal advice you received say you need to have your servers offshore?
Just curious.
So it seems, casinos and horse racing are ok to promote for US citizens, with poker falling under the heading of casinos.
Agree?
Disagree?Thanks.
One other question… Do you folks think it’s okay to promote the casino landing page (or horse racing landing page) of a company that also has a sportsbook available on the same website?
Would your answer to the above be any different for an advertiser opting for CPA as opposed to an advertiser opting for rev share?
Thanks a mil.

Don’t link to sports. Especially sportsbooks that take US bets over the phone.
Casino landing pages without links to sports are fine.

Dom you forgot to insert your disclaimer about the above not being legal advice.
Not to take away from the seriousness of this recent event. Once the hype disappears it will be interesting to see how it plays out. Also glad I’m not in the US.
good reading or not

Thank you for your input.
For example, the bodg main horse racing page still has a link to sports at the very top.
So would you consider this to be a risky landing page in your personal ‘non legal professional’ opinion?
Do you know if such companies typically create things like a custom horse racing landing page that for example has no direct link to the sports?
Thanks a mil again
Bodog should provide clean landing pages, ad so should all the other sportsbooks that have poker and casino.
And oh yes, anything I said anywhere in this thread and on this site is the babble of an inept entertainer and in no way to be constructed to be legal advice.
I can’t believe betonsports.com is shut down. unreal
Did I miss something?
I thought only betting on the telephone was discontinued.
Wow I am very surprised they have since closed betonsports for the time being…
There’s a lot of information in the indictment take the time to carefully read. Alot of good do,s and don’ts can be taken from it
Not sure about all the details, but if BOS were accepting bets over the phone from USA punters, they deserve every ounce of pain coming their way.
Dom,
Back to the idea of sportsbooks that have poker and casino providing clear landing pages… What if I sign up under rev share, provide a landing page with casino and poker only, customer signs up, and then somehow eventually makes it to the sportsbook their, losses, and I get paid a percentage… Does that still keep me in the clear as I haven’t promoted a sportsbook? But, somehow made a few bucks off of it anyway?
Thanks for your opinion as a non legal prof :santa2:

My 10 cents on the matter…The BETonSPORTS case is a ‘test case’ and we are unlikely to see other prosecutions for a while of this magnitude. But if we do, it will be against those operations that take telephone wagers. Customer support is one thing, and accepting bets over the phone another.
If you believe that the US prosecutors will ‘win’ in the BETonSPORTS case, then you should start looking at Internet-only shops.
Bear in mind though that I myself do not expect trouble for those other operations who are now taking telephone wagers for the forseeable future. However, if in the future you expect BETonSPORTS to set a precedent, and there to be a wave of future prosecutions, you should consider only those sportsbooks who have never taken telephone wagers.
Because, you know that the Federal prosecutors will have already obtained evidence against the high profile sportsbooks of today in that regard before they leapt on David Carruthers at the airport.
