poker. The Act then addresses the issue of skill by describing betting as including the purchasing an "opportunity" to win a lottery, this lottery being predominantly subject to chance. The Act expressly prohibits lotteries based on sports events. Some activities such as securities and commodities, including futures, that are traded on U.S. exchanges are, by statute, declared not to be gambling. "Designated payment system" covers any system used by anyone involved in money transfers that the federal government determines could be used by illegal gambling. "Financial transaction provider" is a very broad definition covering everyone who participates in transferring money for illegal Internet gambling. This expressly includes an "operator of a terminal at which an electronic fund transfer may be initiated" and international payment networks. "Interactive computer service" includes Internet service providers. "Restricted transaction" means any transmittal of money involved with unlawful Internet gambling. "Unlawful Internet gambling" is defined as betting, receiving, or transmitting a bet that is illegal under federal, state, or tribal law. The Act says to ignore the intermediary computers and look to the place where the bet is made or received. To force casinos to report large cash transactions, federal law was changed to define "financial institution" as including large gambling businesses. All other definitions are standard.

But the restriction on transfers is limited to Internet gambling businesses, not mere players. It also would not cover payment processors or ISPs, even under a theory of aiding and abetting. The Act does not make it a crime to knowingly transmit funds for illegal gambling. Neither the player nor the intermediary can be charged with this crime. The language of the Act even eliminates the possibility of charging financial institutions and computer hosts under a theory of aiding and abetting, since it explicitly states in the definitions section that being in the business of gambling does not include a financial transaction provider or an ISP.

restricted transactions. However, this is not effective against payment processors who are entirely overseas. The Act provides for limited civil remedies against "interactive computer services". An Internet service provider can be ordered to remove sites and block hyperlinks to sites that are transmitting money to unlawful gambling sites. ISPs are under no obligation to monitor whether its patrons are sending funds to payment processors or even directly to gambling sites. But once it receives notice from a U.S. Attorney or a state attorney general, the ISP can be forced to appear at a hearing to be ordered to sever its links.

The opening section of the act also states that "new mechanisms for enforcing gambling laws on the Internet are necessary," especially for cross-border betting. The Act contains a clause that ensures no change be made to any other law or 1247:"17 Southern California Interdisciplinary Law Journal 2007–2008 Prohibition Reincarnated – The Uncertain Future of Online Gambling following the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 Symposium Issue: Association of American Law Schools Section on Law &(and) Humanities – Law & Order: SUV – Sexuality, Videos and You – Note" 583:
Criminal penalties under section 5366 include up to five years in prison, a fine, and being barred from involvement in gambling. Under section 5367, the Act makes ISPs and financial institutions liable if they actually operate illegal gambling sites themselves. Lastly, the Act requests, but does not
