So, if/when the US Attorney sends a Cease and Desist letter to an online gambling operator stating their business is in violation of the Wire Act, that is when we should start to worry
But even at that point, it will then be up to the US Attorney to make a case, to demonstrate in court that the act applies, and that it was violated
then that case will have to survive appeal
another scenario could be that operators simply cease and desist rather than have a costly fight they might lose anyway ... when you weigh that against the cost of lobbying for legislation for state level authorization, it may be the path followed by some, or all, of the publicly held gambling companies
