Legal action?

Ummm...no

Why not? There are 40,000 witnesses who would be more than willing to say that the guy was offering a business deal that he went back on. I can also find evidence of him spamming if that helps.

I should clarify that I was assuming that the question was about legal action in the U.S. In other countries possibly there can be some potential action.

In the case of the U.S., online gambling, while a somewhat grey area from a criminal standpoint and certainly nobody has ever (or probably will ever) been arrested or fined for it, it is "illegal" from a civil standpoint, meaning it is not legally recognised and protected. Civil courts will not intercede on the customers behalf to recoup any unpaid monies from the sites. I would certainly think this would also apply to any side business feeding off of online gambling.

Kinda like the marijuana dealer who agrees to kickback a % for every customer you send his way. If he doesn't pay, you'd have a hard time getting the courts to back you up on it, even with a written contract.
