You just goading me?
1) Sportsbetting actvity violates the federal wire act.
2) It will bcome a violation of the UIGEA.

No, just trying to understand how Moneygram can take this risk, as others have said. If they have decided online poker is legal and their sending funds is legal now, I want to understand the decision's logic in these strange days(and would applaud them if they prevail over the many laws that could apply).
I still don't see how given online poker legality, you can think UIGEA regs would somehow change the Moneygram decision. The regs won't give lawful gambling restrictions to my knowledge. (and if their decision was wrong, the regs will be low on the list of their problems).
Finally, you indicated that funding of (the wire act's) unlawful sportsbetting sites was illegal then later seemed to retract that ('transferring money for unlawful gambling was not made an instant crime')and said it will be illegal by the forthcoming UIGEA regs, seems contradictory, but I give up on that.
