Re: State Law and the Unlawful Online Gambling Act
Well, she finally covered one of the most important issues which she completely missed in her last "analysis". But again, she misses the point.

In sum, the 2006 Enforcement Act does make it a felony...but since all gaming sites are located outside of the jurisdiction of the United States, this portion of the law is, in all practical terms, unenforceable.

Right, so US law is unenforceable in "all practical terms". That's why the government has never arrested a foreign sportsbook executive for breaking the Wire Act.
Crap like this is exactly why I never read Cardplayer. Her analysis of the legal issues is obviously correct, but she completely fails to understand their practical effects (just as she completely failed to address the important issue of state laws in her last article).
Bottom line: if you want informed opinion, don't read Card Player.
