Did you actually READ UIGEA?

Mon, 08/25/2008 - 09:15 — Guest

UIGEA does NOT define unlawful transactions. It clearly says those are defined UNDER STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS. Therefore your theory that it was meant for POKER as well as Sportsbooks is rediculous. The intent of the bill was to make it illegal for financial instituion to process "unlawful transactions" and that is it. The only federal law that applies is the WIRE ACT and that has been proven in COURT to apply only to SPORTS BETTING. There are a few States that have ANTI POKER laws but the States that do not are fine to play in. How about you actually consult a laywer and learn how this stuff works?
