    I know that poker is illegal game in lot of countries. But how about poker affiliates site. Where I will display newest poker bonuses, room reviews, tournament lists etc. Is that legal?

    Also where (which country) I should host my site, to avoid any problems?

    Good question, but there is no short answer. If a client of mine called and asked me this question I would want to know a lot more. I would ask where you lived, where the site is located, how you plan to commercialize the site, do you link to the reviewed sites, and much more. In the U.S. you have both federal and state law to deal with. Finally, I would tell my client that before they began their enterprize I would like to do some research into the question.

    My first thought is that you would want to try and avoid a situation where you are contributing to the poker site's revenues by your actions.
