WSOP Advertising

[GaF]

Have watched the first two episodes of this years WSOP coverage ... loads of on-site advertising from the companies who are flouting the US ban - how do they get away with it? When Neteller, BetonBet, and SportingBet execs have been locked up in prison, how are the likes of Pokerstars and FullTilt able to get away with a large presence at WSOP?

Re: WSOP Advertising More to the point, how on earth does any of this make sense? Ban it, make payments to online poker illegal, then have a massive poker festival (I know it's in Nevada and all but it's still the same country). Just a fcuking shambles if you ask me :\

Re: WSOP Advertising Is it the .net sites (play money sites) that are advertizing? They're still completely legal in the US.

Re: WSOP Advertising Yes - it's dot net, but I thought the distinction between .net and .com had been removed :unsure

Yes - it's dot net' date=' but I thought the distinction between .net and .com had been removed :unsure[/quote'] I didn't think so, but you may be right. By the way, I just discovered that PartyPoker.net was Unethical Website of the Month in November 2005. Not poker related, but the June 2007 Unethical Website of the Month is worth a look, too.
