That's a good plug for SNMM. In actuality, it's very likely others based in the USA and Canada will do likewise, not accept wagers from within the jurisdictions where they are based or maintain operations. For Starnet, that means no business from either the states or CN at least until the issue of internet wagering has been decided upon in the courts. Establishments such as those in Austria and Australia with no financial ties or bases of operations in either the USA and Canada may step up to the plate and fulfill North Americans appetite for internet gambling. These countries make it clear the USA does not control the world or own the internet.

What about the licences Starnet is selling in the islands, Starnet gets a cut of their sales while these "licensees" will take bets from U.S. customers!? ANy Commments on the legality of this?
