But Judge Duval further ruled...

Plaintiffs in these cases are not victims,” the judge stated in his ruling, “they are independent actors who made a knowing and voluntary choice to engage in a course of conduct. Litigation over their own actions arose only when the results of those actions became a debt that they did not wish to pay. At this point in time, Internet casino gambling is not a violation of federal law.”
Duval quoted with approval an Appeals Court ruling that stated, “. . . plaintiffs, i.e. the players, can avoid any injury simply by walking away from the alleged wrongdoers, the casinos, by not playing . . . in the casinos.”
