Eh, Prophets, I'm not so sure about that. Being a U.S. person I've pretty much ignored the gambling biz, I don't even buy the domain names (although I do have a nakedbets.com if anybody wants to buy it for a strip poker site). But Big Brother isn't quite everywhere, the U.S. is not the whole world, and Epassporte is, shall we say, a somewhat jurisdictionally ambiguous company. Knowing nothing about the extent of their gambling contacts, I can't say you're right or wrong, but I'm reserving judgment on the question.
In the long run, the U.S. attempt to treat the entire internet as its jurisdictional territory will surely fail. How soon? That's the interesting part of the question. Everybody in the international money trades (whether they touch gambling or not) is gambling on the answer to that one.
