    Sportsbook affiliates could have some troubles(?)

    Just heard that affiliates (feeders) are considered accessories to the crime and could be prosecuted in NY w/ the same penalties as if they themselves were booking bets?

    Sounds crazy know?
    but discuss

    Makes sense....

    Ever see the little disclaimer on Service Sites (for entertainment purposes only)? SBR or any other affiliate would argue that they were unaware of the player's status (citizenship wise), moreover they would claim that a disclosure was made that the player should or is responsible for verifying laws in their own district/country/state/ etc..

    Extra Innings, very smart - but what if the U.S. gov't accounted for that? and said any partnership with that site would be in violations of the law, getting paid for bringing people to site regardless of whether the individuals they brought in were U.S. players or not?

    Lets say one of these books sent their entire affiliate platform to the gov't and the gov't were to prosecute all of those individuals? How would an affiliate dodge that one?

    Edit: with the purpose of sending the platform were to prove that the affiliates benefited from their referrals depositing @ the book.
