Loophole in online legislation?

[flustraighted]

First off, I'd like to make it clear that I am not an authority on online gambling legislation, but I was hoping there were some on this forum that could perhaps fill that role.

Question: If I were to open a brick and mortar internet 'cafe' where people would be playing online poker (or other gambling games) against eachother in the same room, would it have to adhere to normal gambling legislation? Or would the fact that it is being played online through offshore companies negate all brick and mortar gambling legislation?
