Default Ultimate Bet terms of use

I opened UB and there was an update to download. Then the terms of use popped up and you are prompted to read and accept. I noticed this line was in all caps and although it may have been there before it wasn't in all caps.

YOU AGREE NOT TO USE THE SOFTWARE TO PARTICIPATE IN REAL-MONEY
PLAY AT ULTIMATEBET(tm) EXCEPT WHERE IT IS EXPRESSLY LEGAL TO DO SO

the sky is not falling or anything I just thought it was interesting that in their statements they have said the law changes nothing. Yet on the day it was signed they have made sure to cover their a$$

Standard CYA boilerplate. They are basically trying to disavow the need to block US players, and leaving it up to them to make the dermination if they should or shouldn't be playing. *shrug* No biggie.
