Welcome!
Lol! That’s a mouthful!
Checks and neteller are both fine. Neteller has a card you load with funds from your neteller account and you can get cash at any atm with it, Very convenient. But you can’t really pay for anything directly out of neteller except for gaming transaction or peer to peer money.
Checks tend to be so anonymous that I keep getting some that I just can’t figure out who sent them. I am sure than banks don’t know either.
Many many people submit ID. I personally never submit any ID over the internet period. That is just me though. People do it all the time.
Pay your taxes. It is not illegal to advertise anything. Advertising in the USA is covered by the Free Speech law – very explicitly so.
It doesn’t matter where your server is.
I hope this helps!
Well we are suppose to have free speach..
Might check out this article.
Don’t know if you got one of these in Miami, Krystall, but this is a good product and deals in detail with all the details of the law.

I should add for affinquiry that sportsbetting operates on another level – it seems to infringe on the wire act and may be illegal.
Online gambling, however, is forbidden in some states but is not illegal in the US. A law has been proposed year after year and never passes.
So The DOJ has resorted to scare tactics – they are not backed by law as far as I can see.
This and any of my comments anywhere on this site and elsewhere are in no way to be construed to be legal advice of any sort. My comments are merely for entertainment purposes.
:rolleyes:
Scare tactics at best. I wouldn’t worry too much at this point, but I wouldn’t promote sportsbooks on your site, just in case. IMHO, the US should shit or get off the pot. (pardon my french) But I’m getting tired of the week to week ‘yes you can’ and ‘no you can’t,’ advertise dance. With large online casino outfits like Casino Fortune being feautured on CNN, and others buying nascar ads, I highly doubt affiliates are the ones to catch crap first. If I don’t hear it and see it in clear words or in black and white in my newspaper or on the news…I’m not holding back on my ad campaigns.
Just my 2 cents here, I’m not liable for what I’ve said:D
To be honest, I never read or heard anywhere that casino advertising is legal, and sportsbook is illlegal. Why, oh, why do they have to make these laws so hard to understand? :confused:
But thanks for telling me because I was thinking about adding sports information to my site.
I have one more quick question. You know those type of programs where you get to have a “private label” (or front’s if I remember my terminology) casino. Gambling Federation for example. My question is, is that illegal?
When you say casino advertising is legal, you mean banner ads, links, etc. So having a front or private label casino is illegal?
I was planning to have one portal/guide site and one private label, but depending on the answers to this question, I might avoid doing the latter.
Thanks again for the help.
None of this is illegal or legal. There’s a huge grey area. Basically it’s going along with how comfortable you are with legal and criminal liability. In the past sportsbooks have been targetted by the US government more so than casinos, so it’s safer to just promote casinos. Meanwhile if you have a private label casino you’re giving people the impression that you own that casino, therefore your liability goes up significantly.

I agree with antoine, I wouldn’t go for the casino fronts if you are in the U.S.
The U.S. government is suggesting that companies which accept online gambling ads may be aiding and abetting in criminal activity… But aiding and abetting has a second element — whether the broadcaster is furthering the commission of a crime… this might be hard for the government to prove.
Bingo.
Whatever the outcome, the U.S. government has succeeded in scaring a large chunk of online gaming advertising venues. “This leaves us with less avenues in which to advertise now,” Miller said.
Objective achieved.
