Bodog cancelled some conference in Las Veags probably for fear out having people arrested, but they also are a sports book site.
Taking sports bets from the US over the internet much more clearly violates the Wire Act than online poker does which is what makes the distinction between poker sites and poker / sports book sites.
I wouldnt worry about much more than this for the time being.
But to answer your question, yes, if a law ever gets passed that allows the govenement to ban access to gambling sites, there is plenty of software to that make that happen, but I dont think they will need it. I think the sites will follow suit like Eurobet just did and not take US players. There are other smaller sites that have never allowed US players. There are sites that dont allow players from other countries where online poker is illegal (Denmark?, Hungary?).
I do think that even if the law passes (which it wont) someone will challenge the constitutionality of it and the the Supreme Court will have to decide.Statistics: Posted by iceman5 — Fri Jul 21, 2006 7:53 pm
