However, if you are an affiliate of a gambling/casino site and you are in the US, you can still promote it to non-US surfers. (this from a news update directly from one of the larger gaming sites)

Oh, and in case anyone didn't already know, Paypal has placed a zero tolerance ban on their service being on any gaming sites whatsoever, nor can you pay wager debts or any gambling-related transfers of any kind, according to their TOS. I'm not sure when they instituted that rule but it's there now.
