Default Re: Strange WPT Blurring

This talk of loopholes and restrictions is all wrong. There are no explicit laws or regulations against advertising online gambling sites. Most lawyers who've looked at it seem to agree the Justice Department doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Nevertheless, the justice department threatened media outlets with the possibility of prosecution. That was when you saw all the Party Poker adds stop on the WPT. This .net stuff is a way they came up with to reasure to reasure the media outlets, not the result of some astute interpretation of a statute.

Likely they could advertise the heck out of any of the .coms and be alright.

Heck, technically, nobody plays poker at Partypoker.com, that's just a website. On that note has anybody downloaded the software from a .net? Is it any different from what you get at a .com?
