This one is hilarious because now they are marketing to someone who's not only dumb, but willing to scam others if it means getting ahead:

Gambling with BTC in countries where BTC isn't defined as money - Legality?

I no longer reside in the US, but online gambling was a huge issue there when I did. Now with BTC being declared a commodity rather than a currency, what does this mean for online gambling, especially sports betting? Does anyone know what the legal authorities have said about services like Cloudbet?
