Is it illegal to be a US affilate now?
It sure seems like it, but I'm not sure.
The bit about accepting money for any form of internet gambling. Doesn't this include affilates who make money from others playing? I have no idea, that's why I'm asking. Thanks [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

An affiliate isn't accepting a bet or wager, even if it gets a cut off such a bet or wager. Bounus affiliates will likely be more in the clear though of the 2 types. But hey, I'm not an affiliate so [censored] em.

Re: Is it illegal to be a US affilate now?
When I looked at this months ago, my quick analysis was that there was nothing in the bill to suggest that Congress gave any thought whatsoever to affiliates (or even knew they existed).
On the other hand, I can easily a prosecutor arguing that the affiliate is acting as an accomplice to the cardroom by directing people to their site. And under federal law, an accomplice is considered just as guilty as the principal, and subject to the same penalties. This doesn't mean that anyone will go after affiliates, but I can't say that such prosecutions are not theoretically possible.

I thought it was always illegal, but people did it anyways.

2plus2 is affilate, so are a good number of posters...
Anyway, this site's banners are still up, but for how long? Anyway, if it's illegal for sites to take US bets, is it illegal to refer Americans to these sites from inside the US?

"it's illegal for sites to take US bets,..."
Nothing Congress did last night or in this bill affected the legality of online poker, only the means to make a deposit.
