He also said we were about as likely to get arrested for J walking than running an affiliate website.

With all of that said, he also said the laws as they apply to promoting online gambling have yet to be tested in Canada (ie, nobody has been arrested/charged with it), so if I happened to get arrested, make sure I gave him a call so he could be the first to challenge it....lol

It was an experience just meeting with him and talking gambling....the guy really knows his stuff. As interesting as it was...it was tough to pay $600+ an hour to listen to him tell cool stories....
Thank you for the insight! Did he make any recommendations of things you can do to reduce the chances of anything happening? (ie. promoting .net only or something like that)
