Internet gaming is not specifically banned by federal legislation in Canada. No known enforcement activities have been undertaken to prohibit or regulate this type of activity. Cryptologic, a well know internet casino operator and licensor, has its head office in Toronto. Robert

That's a good read, thanks. I'm going to post it on another thread. It kind of affirms my understanding of what is currently legal and what is not. My understanding is this: 1. If a cybercasino is located offshore, and if it is owned by all non-U.S. citizens, then it can accept U.S. bets and the U.S. really can't do much to close it down (under current law or the Kyl Bill). Whether U.S. betters can get into trouble here is arguable. 2. If a cybercasino is located offshore, and is owned by U.S. citizens, then it should not accept bets from the U.S. because our gov't can assert jurisdiction over the citizen/owners. Of course, the U.S. has to physically get custody of the owners...which might be difficult. Again, this is just my opinion from the research I've done. Quahog
