The state of Louisiana, who recently made the news with their arrest warrant for Peter Dicks, has issued a warning to online gambling companies and executives that they are actively pursuing additional arrest warrants, as many as 50 in fact. My understanding is that online gambling is specifically illegal in Louisiana according to state law, but that advertising an online gambling company IS legal. (I mention this because Casino City is located in Louisiana for that very reason.)

My guess is that the targets of these investigations are overseas companies who are actually taking bets, but I'm no lawyer or expert on legal issues. I'm just reporting what I've heard regarding this.

Lousiana used the outdated Federal Wire Act from the '60's to arrest him with. The law hasn't changed there - they just found an old one to suit their purpose. It's another ambiguos law that is being perverted for the publicity. They'll never prosecute cause they know they can't win - they just wanted another big arrest for the media to focus on.

I think that Louisiana actually has a state-level law regarding gambling online. From what I understand, the same laws that make it illegal to gamble in Louisiana expressly state that advertising for online gambling is completely legal. (Which is one of the reasons that Casino City makes its home in the state.)
