Re: Online Gambling Is Illegal in the US

We live in a world of sovereign states. It should be beyond obvious that US law does not apply to business done outside the US.

Ah, but that's the question. Where is the business done? At least part of the business is done in the US, in whichever state the customer is in.
The legal analysis I linked to earlier in the thread states that when an offshore business actively engages a customer in the state through advertising, email, exchanging funds, etc ... then the state has jurisdiction over that business. And the author cited cases to back it up. Enforcement is a different issue.
So, unless you can cite US state or federal case law to back up your position, I'm going to have to go with the guy that does cite it. That's my naive approach. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
