I stumbled upon (thank you Google Alerts!) an interesting and seemingly complete synopsis of the current legislation used in prosecuting those involved with online gaming, as well as information about those that have been prosecuted by the US.
My favorite snippet is probably this quote from John G.Malcolm, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division, United States Department of Justice on 2003.06.11:
"Broadcasters and other media outlets should know of the illegality of offshore sportsbook and Internet gambling operations since, presumably, they would not run advertisements for illegal narcotics prostitution, child pornography or other prohibited activities. We'd appreciate it if you would forward public service message to all of your member organizations which may be running such advertisements, so that they may consult with their counsel or take whatever actions they deem appropriate."
