ISBN: 9780874176209 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The story of the 1961 Wire Act and how Robert Kennedy's crusade against the Mob is creating a new generation of Internet gaming outlaws. The U.S. has invoked the Act in a vain effort to control gambling within its borders, at a time when online sports betting is soaring in popularity.
