Default Re: Online Gambling Is Illegal in the US

The Wire Act only covers sportsbetting through telephone lines. It is quite specific in it's wording.

Mr Cohen's (entirely bogus) conviction was based on the fact that he was running a sports betting operation in Antigua and his customers were using telephone lines (remember the days of dial-up?) located in the US to place bets.
