Unanswered FAQ

It's odd that the Wall Street Journal, of all newspapers, can publish an article about the joys of online gambling, relying mostly on odds and quotes from Dublin company Tradesports, without discussing whether such gambling is legal for their US readers. Our totally amateur lawyering suggests that it is legal, because Tradesports is dealing in securities rather than taking bets, but such a distinction will seem a bit capricious to Sportingbet, for example, essentially run out of doing business in the US.
