Correct? You can be based in the UK and accept money from US citizens for gambling as long as you yourself are standing on UK soil. Once you are in the states you can be arrested. Do I have this straight?
100% correct Myst

You can be standing... almost anywhere except the US (assuming you have a gaming license in some countries) and take bets from all over the globe and this is totally legal. (Also assuming you are not a US citizen).

BTW.. Canada is one of the countries (along with Antigua, UK and some others) who started the WTO case against the US on restrictions of movement of gaming funds.
