I believe that both BoS and SportingBet will accept sports-bets directly over the phone.
I'm not positive about that, but if so then perhaps THAT is the bigger reason why these guys were detained.

Stars has no sportsbook

party's sportsbook (moneybookers) does not take bets from US customers.
UB has no sportsbook

I think microbob's post should be stuck at the top of the forum.

Hmmm, whilst the areests so far have related to sportsbooks which the prosecutors think they are on safer ground over, the DoJ has said that online poker is illegal too so I wouldn't sticky this as a way of showing that online poker is safe as it clearly isn't.

Why do you think that when Party released its Interim results today that it specifically cites the amount of new customers from non-US countries? Its because it wants the US risk discount taken away from its share price sooner rather than later, if Party could have 100% non-US players with the same revenue it would go for it.
