Default Re: Pokerstars allowing U.S. based company to transfer money to them

You have to read the details of the UIGEA, permafrost. The UIGEA instantly made it a crime for A SITE to accept money for gambling unlawful under state law. The sites are overseas, however, and there is very little the DOJ can do to them (unless their execs visit the US). Transferring money for unlawful gambling was not made an instant crime, it will become a crime when the regulations are out if a company knowingly violates the regulations.
