Taken from your article, The six companies named in the charges were located in Curacao, Costa Rica, Antigua, and the Dominican Republic, but all of the companies' principals were U.S. citizens, officials said. Gary is one smart cookie, the principals here are the gov't of Dominican, not Global Games. So I guess that the gov't has to arrest every Tom, Dick, or Harry, that bets on the internet. Sounds like that tax payers would have to pay a bundle for that type of law enforcement. I think your dreaming again TGW. Gary is clearly being careful not to get involved with the wagering side of the business. Glow is just providing software..try to remember that. G

WRONG AGAIN T.W.G. You really do have a habit of only telling half the truth. The fact is, the law is as clear as mud. Read this: Title 18 USCS 1084 covers the transmission of wagering information. 1084. Subsection (a) of 1084 states that: "(w)hoever being engaged in the business of betting or wagering knowingly uses a wire communication facility for the transmission in interstate or foreign commerce of bets or wagers or information assisting in the pacing of bets or wagers on any sporting event or contest, or for the transmission of a wire communication which entitles the recipient to receive money or credit as a result of bets or wagers, or for information assisting in the pacing of bets or wagers, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both." THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY: However, subsection (b) of 1084 provides: "Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent ... the transmission of information assisting in the placing of bets or wagers on a sporting event or contest from a State or foreign country where betting on that sporting event or contest is legal into a State or foreign country in which such betting is legal."
