Yes, although our system is certainly not 100% accurate, thus we have to ask if we're accurate or not. It's kind of like porn sites asking if you're 18 or not.

Yeah. I got a notice that they detected that I was from Wisconsin via my IP address and I had the option of confirming or denying that fact. If I were to confirm it, I wouldn't be able to view BW. I lied and denyed and was able to get in.

protecting themselves from what exactly?

It was my understanding that simply publishing information relating to online gambling is protected under the constituion?

Google "pipe bomb making" and am i sure you will find hundereds of usefull websites.
