Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act
The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (or UIGEA) prohibits any person engaged in the business of
betting or wagering (as defined in the Act) from knowingly accepting payments in connection with the
participation of another person in unlawful Internet gambling. Such transactions are
termed “restricted transactions.” The Act generally defines “unlawful Internet gambling”
as placing, receiving, or otherwise knowingly transmitting a bet or wager by any means
which involves the use, at least in part, of the Internet where such bet or wager is
unlawful under any applicable Federal or State law in the State or Tribal lands in which
the bet or wager is initiated, received, or otherwise made.
This bank is required to enforce this prohibition. By maintaining an account with our bank you agree to notify us if your account is ever used for Internet gambling of any kind, even if you believe the activity to be legal. If you do not, we may terminate your access to various payment methods or close out your account.
