Re: The WTO challenge looks well written overall, and is good for all
When you write that "without the WTO the DOJ has won", you need to distinguish between sportsbetting and poker.
Jay's case was Wire Act specific, New York specific and sports specific. There is no coverage of poker under the Wire Act.
As for the more recent UIGE Act, it doesn't matter where a poker "bet" originates, so long as the poker site is not accepting the bet for its own account. Poker is played between players, the poker site does not "accept" any bets. Only a player who calls accepts the win/loss risk of that proffered "bet".
A sportsbook "accepts" a bet. A poker player accepts a bet. A poker site is not in the business of betting or wagering.
