PinnacleSports had publicly left the US market in early 2007 following passage of the Unlawful Internet Enforcement Act (UIGEA) though Wednesday's arrests seem to suggest the company was still running a credit operation in the States.
Same thing they got the poker sites on.

Excuse me for my stupidity, but could you elaborate further on what that means exactly?

Under the UIGEA that was passed, it is illegal for a banking institution of any kind to make a transaction to a gambling website.
Online gambling is legal, but the banking transactions aren't. If they are still running a credit processing company, they are violating it.
Looks like this could be a bit different though.

One of those eight arrested, Paul Sexton, is the son of Mike Sexton WPT announcer.
