Just wondered if someone could give me a condensed version of what's happened here, to save me wading through Google.
As I understand it, the US government have made online gambling illegal.
How does this work? Is it such that people in the USA cannot pay with their credit cards? Or is it a flat ban which makes it illegal for any US citizen to gamble on the internet? Any other considerations? Are there any offshore loopholes or ways around it?
Betfair in the UK just spammed me an offer to enter their casino, and then the thought about the USA situation came to me.
Thanks for your input.
