Any tax paying poker affiliates ever run into legal problems? I have been told that promoting gambling is illegal. This is to differentiate the legality of playing poker, which is murky but legal at the moment.

I don't believe playing poker is legal....I believe it is illegal-according to the Federal Wire Wager Act but no one has been prosecuted for it.

I think Op is right though in that promoting gambling is a lot more dangerous (from a likelihood of you being prosecuted standpoint) then just gambling online.
