I believe that they make a "good faith" effort to exclude wagers from North America; through notices and through agreements that must be read and agreed to BEFORE wagering. There has been much discussion from bashers that Starnet is being something less than truthful on their SEC filings about their stance against wagers from North America, and you've said "Does that mean they are lying in their financial statements?" Possibly you could actually READ the statements before making such a suggestion??
This from the most recent SEC filing 10QSB, at :
edgar.sec.gov
"The Company's Internet casino, which targets only customers outside North America, is operated by its subsidiary, World Gaming Services Inc, in Antigua."
When you visit their site, if you are from the USA, they tell you to GO AWAY. If you are from Canada, they tell you you cannot wager, you can only play for fun. They have you agree to a detailed legal agreement, stating that YOU must understand the legalities of wagering from your location, and that you should not agree and wager if you do not. There's nothing in the financial disclosures that says they "may not" or "cannot", only that they choose to target areas outside of North America, and I believe that this is a good stance.
Lastly, if you affirm to the agreement that shows that you understand the legalities of wagering from your location, and that it is, in fact legal where you live, and then you choose to dispute the charges on legalities, I'm certain they would hold to their promise to either collect or thoroughly toast your credit rating :
