Speeding is a lesser example. Then of course there's Prohibition. And Congress has a fine tradition of passing laws that don't really do anything but then the Reps. consider a problem handled and move on to not doing something about something else.

Transfer it to another player not in the U.S. Have said foreign player withdraw money. Send it back to you via PayPal or whatever. I sense a business opportunity.
