ANY UPDATES ON THIS? IS IT LEGAL OR ILLEGAL TO BE AN ONLINE POKER AFFILIATE?

I think if you read I. Nelson Rose's breakdown, it becomes pretty obvious that if you promote US facing online poker rooms then you are assuming some risk.

If all you do is promote non USA poker rooms (Party, Pacific, Paradise, Titan), then you have no worries. You won't be helping connect US players to online poker.

That being said, nobody has been arrested specifically for being an affiliate, and IMO it won't happen. I think sports betting affiliates take on more risk than poker affiliates, since the DOJ's efforts have focused on sports betting up to this point.

I do know of several successful online gambling affiliates who moved outside the USA, or at least moved their server hosting outside the USA.
