Is anyone worried about gambling regulators coming down on JD?

Ireland and Canada and the US, UK are very serious about this sort of thing.

Bitcoins, Dollars or cans of beans - gambling among people in their jurisdictions is what they'll come down on.

Thoughts?

nobody came down on SDice, although they stopped US players playing.

I assume that if JD wanted to cover their ass more fully, it could have a dialog box that pops up when you first visit the page asking people to pick their country from a long list, and if they pick US, then it doesn't let them play.   IANAL but this should be sufficient to plead in court that you are not letting US players play on a 'best efforts' basis.  It's what many other sites do.
