Risk that poker site employees could be arrested at the WSOP?

Even if they had this intention, US Law Enforcement officers on any level would have no jurisdiction to make such an arrest. They operate those sites in an area where it is legal to do so.

A similar situation. A guy from NY goes to Vegas and visits the Bunny Ranch where he bangs a prostitute. Now when he returns home does an NYPD officer have the right to arrest him since prostitution is illegal in NY??? Definitely not, although his wife might blow his balls off with a shotgun.

Good luck,
Matt

Read the whole thread before you post. It is illegal to place bets FROM WITHIN any state (other than KY or the D.C.). Your bets ORIGINATE from yourself who is located within a U.S. state (assuming you live in the U.S. and not Ky or the D.C.).

My intention on posting the previous link was to show people here that THERE IS A NEED TO TAKE SOME KIND OF ACTION. Between this act of the WPT (America's BEST known poker company) and the article from Granny, we ought to have some concern here (not for prosecution, necessarily; but because this is OUR game/living -- why let it go to crap?).
