"The war of intimidation from the federal Department of Justice (DoJ) against Internet gambling has now reached the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
This is no minor issue.
I have taught classes to the FBI, including on both Internet and Indian gaming. I have always found them to be professionals. They appreciate both their power and responsibility as the leading law enforcement agents of the federal government.
So I was shocked to see this on the official FBI website:
“If you’ve ever thought about visiting a cyber casino, here’s something you should know: it’s illegal to gamble online in the United States..."
That means:
...No placing cyber bets on sporting events or in virtual card games;
...No transferring money electronically for gambling; and
...No wagers in offshore Internet casinos even if you live in the
U.S.”"
