The problem with it being a sportsbook is actually the
Wire Act. The Feds won't attempt a prosecution if it's not a Wire Act violation, which requires the gaming business to take bets on sporting events. They don't like any type of online gambling, but they don't think they could get a conviction for anything but sportsbetting, and don't try.
Yeah, I was pretty upset about the debit card provider being outed on here. If I'd thought of it at the time I would have clicked on the "report post" button and asked a mod to delete it. I'm not sure if they were doing that at the time, but they do seem to be deleting such references/posts now, if they know about them.
