whats with all the marvel stuff?

Perhaps being on the radar for illegal gambling (in some jurisdictions only - and it's a grey area anyway), and acting as a cryptocurrency 'mixing' service just isn't exciting enough.. they also need a bit of heat from IP lawyers to really feel alive.

dear jutz

thank you for bringing up the legality of this operation.

We have clearly made profound legal research before setting this up. Our lawyers and myself strongly believe that accepting and playing with Bitcoin does not infringe the UIGEA "The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006" as we do not act as a processor or financial institute.

To sum up our position and based on current US legislation: There is no U.S. federal law against gambling online!

Further for others maybe of interest:

Some states might have laws against online gambling, but even there prosecution against players is rare.
It's against federal law for websites to take sports bets over the Internet.
It's against federal law for banks to handle online gambling transactions
Taking ads for online gambling isn't specifically illegal, and it would be quite a stretch to make a case under a different statute (like racketeering or conspiracy).

Very good summery over legal gambling in the US: http://vegasclick.com/online/legal.html

Our position is also shared by most gaming operators from this forum which reassured us about our legal standing.

Freedom of speech freedom of play thanks to Bitcoin
