I half agree with you.
The reason I wouldn't fully agree is because these companies were obiously breaking the law.
PartyPoker.com and many others are still alive and well because they follow rules or use proper practice.
When I was first starting out online I was looking into poker/gambling as a niche to look into and maybe build something in. And the first thing I noticed before any other was "Do Not Bank with the US" Simple, they always suggested using Gibraltar/Cyprus/other offshore locations.
Don't use US hosting was another one. As for using a .com domain that wasn't an issue from what I had seen. If the US had full control of the .com domains then sites like tradetang.com would be taken offline instantly (95% of the stuff sold there is illegal/copied)
Will be interesting to see what else comes up with these recent "crack downs"
