2plus2 is affilate, so are a good number of posters...

[/ QUOTE ]
2+2 has never been an affiliate for any site specifically because of concerns about the legality (especially because they are based in Nevada, one of the few states where online gambling was already explicitly illegal).

What about the provision for removing 'hyperlinks.' Would that effectively force affiliates (who utilize websites like Pokersource) out of business? Would twoplustwo be seriously crippled as well because their banner ads would consitute 'hyperlinks?' What about people who advertise in a more mobile fashion-like spamsters on rec.gambling.poker who post links with their referral codes? Any feedback would be appreciated. I'm basically wondering if: A) My hyperlinks would be removed by some outside entity. B) If I receive revenue from people clicking on banners would I be in violation of the new law? Any feedback would be appreciated. Please excuse me in advance for misusing terminology.

Very clueless about this,
