I guess I should add that it's largely about the background, genesis and repercussions of the US (so-called) "anti-gambling" law, the UIGEA passed in 2006. If you read nothing else from it, read this:

Quote:
Protectionism helps explain why, despite all the railing against online gambling by politicians like Bob Goodlatte and John Kyl, the bill that finally passed Congress left the law ambiguous. “For me this is more about driving foreign traders out of action so Nevada and Vegas don’t lose out on business in the future,” a London lawyer told the Sunday Telegraph last year. “The moves being made now give the U.S. time to sort out the legalization of online gaming and give the Vegas brands time to establish [themselves] online.”
