This may be their first "official" venture into online gambling, but I wonder if they haven't been involved for a while. 8 or 9 years ago I was betting some sporting events through an online sportsbook/casino. (can't remember the name right now, so we will say "XYZ sportsbook & casino"), but I know they were located in antigua. They didn't accept credit cards, so to open an account you had to send a money order or personal check to antigua. When I cashed out and closed the account after football season ended, I received a check from "XYZ sportsbook & casino", from Bank of America, Las Vegas, NV. Always had me wondering.

Actually, before the UIGEA passed, it was quite common to see casinos paying from US banks. Although the DOJ said it was illegal, there was no law they could use outside of the Wire Act, which applied strictly to sports books. Now they seem to be retroactively going after operators, even if they pulled out when the UIGEA was passed.

I believe Harrah's operated an online casino years ago for non US customers. They went out of business fairly quickly.
