I guess this is is a very confusing law because it is very hard to define the wagering process online?
This was addresses pretty much a short while ago in this thread... http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/sportsbook...ortsbooks.html

It is how I see it from my understanding and basically how I defended my position/platform about the legality of US offshore wagering....
This is an interesting thread and maybe in a good way and maybe not. Most big places are using 128bit AES crypt. But it is not as simple as just looking at the wagering platform. They are separated many degrees from processors and we are talking many and varied degrees. So what is the point of basically cracking a gaming platform ledger, it is not real cash and any major withdrawal of a non authorized fabricated account is going to be heavily scrutinized from an automated level and then a double manual level... YA, a guy is gonna go over deposits and action histories checking rollover if required, sign off on it and then a second guy is gonna do the same thing and if it is in excess of 5 dimes a bigger wig might just take a look at it and if it is 10 dimes or more a big wig is definitely gonna take a look. Man, that is a run on sentence... Anyway, all the processors are banking financial level encryption because that is basically what they are and are outsourced by the gaming provider usually if we are talkn CR. So go ahead, crack a P2P or CC... because messing with a book is a waste of time and as mentioned not really the kind of guys you want to take a run at.
True story, offshore had more problems from DOS ransoms in the past which they would have to pay to get their services back online. They were usually small ransoms to boot, like 20 dimes or 30 dimes... enough to make it easier to pay and be back up. Well, this happened to an outfit and they paid 20 dimes and the principle turned around and paid an equal amount to a contractor to find and have a talk with the problem... no more problems after that. Alot of these DOS problems were coming out of East Europe and or Russian States...
Books are pretty good now at dealing with DOS attacks now.... whether by technical means or by reputation. They do not happen that much any more.
