Can I ask something, what if it’s an affiliate site? is that safe for any seizures of the US DOJ?

[bosshoggs]

All I can say is that it’s best if you’re an affiliate, as well as an Operator, to follow all best practices when it comes to your domain. Bottom line, the DOJ can assert several different guidelines when it comes to a US hosted .com without any warning.

If anyone owns a .com domain name and is afraid of it being seized, it’s probably a good idea to 301 redirect it to another website. That’s probably the only way to keep a .com domain safe at the moment. The whole transition takes about a week or so to complete, and then you should be right back to where you started from I have never lost any traffic or rankings from all the 301 redirects I’ve completed in the past.

We don’t house any gambling operation, or handle transfers of payments to and from online gambling players. I think that affiliates are at a much lesser risk than operators. However, I’m not a legal expert, and these are just my thoughts.

Also doesn’t it come down to whether you are doing revshare or CPA / Media buys?

At this point I don’t think any affiliate has been targeted.
Since I’m a real small fry, I have less fears about it.

But, the gov. has the power to act rationally or irresponsibly.
With the USA legal system you have to defend yourself – which takes lawyers and money – right or wrong – win or lose – you pay with money and aggravation.

If I were starting over today with no domains, I would go for one international domain.

Just English speaking countries and people.

I usually end up saying somewhere that the casinos accept ‘international players’ or ‘non-usa players’ or that they do not accept ‘USA residents’ “US players’ and the like.

I hate it when I download, install and register casino software only to be told then that they do not accept US players – I try to prevent that from happening to my site visitors.

Own a poker site with a .com domain. Just keep your site legal and there wont be any problems.

Excellent rule of thumb, rmeeuwsen! At the end of the day… it’s all about User Experience!
