“We are defined,not by our borders but by our bonds.”

New Jersey’s Division of Gaming Enforcement has just confiscated the funds of Vinh Dao, a California resident. By placing online bets at the Borgata and Caesar’s Atlantic City from out of state, he violated New Jersey law. So the Garden State emptied his ADW accounts at both places, a seizure totaling $90,000.

It is unclear how he managed to evade New Jersey’s geolocation software, which is supposed to prevent non-residents from playing remotely in Atlantic City casino games. To be fair, he didn’t get away with it for long. Dao’s activities were spotted in late 2014, after the software’s initial teething troubles had been worked out.
