Default Embassy for Online Gambling?

So I'm listening to my favorite sports talk radio segment out here in a Seattle suburb, and they do this particular segment called "In the News" that normally is more than a bit tongue-in-cheek. On yesterday's show, they made a reference to this article relating to how one British pub will get around the new smoking ban. In short, the British pub has been announced to be an embassy for Redonda, and therefore, it has some kind of diplomatic immunity, a term that I know we also use a lot here stateside.

So here's the crazy idea: in Washington state, as I understand it, there's some felony language with regards to online gambling. (Yes, I know nothing has happened and probably never will.) Is there any way that, say, an embassy to the tiny nation of Antigua could provide a viable workaround to those places where the law says that online gambling is illegal?

Or am I completely off my rocker?
