Kenny asked:


In other words, say an internet forum owner who lives in Chesapeake, VA decides to take advertising money, from online gambling sites deemed illegal by the US Justice Dept.

Wouldn’t his profiting from those illegal gambling sites be breaking some federal laws?

It is illegal now for an offshore gambling site to do business with US residents. So, wouldn’t it also be illegal for a US resident to be profiting from the promotion of those illegal sites, to US citizens who post on his forum?

Penny Pandemonium asked:


Members of congress are looking at allowing online gambling again, stating that banning net gambling damaged U.S.-European Union trade ties.

My feeling is that if Gambling is allowed in person, I don’t see what the problem is on the net.

What do you think? Should the ban be uplifted?
