Unlawful Internet Gambling Notice 

The Unlawful Internet Gambling Act (UIGEA) of 2006 prohibits St. Jean’s Credit Union from processing restricted transactions through your business account. The UIGEA signed into law in 2006, prohibits any person engaged in the business of betting or wagering (as defined in the Act) from knowingly accepting payments in connection with the participation of another person in unlawful Internet gambling. The Dept. of Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board have issued a joint final rule, Regulation GG, to implement this Act. As defined in Regulation GG, unlawful Internet gambling means to “place, receive or otherwise knowingly transmit a bet or wager by any means which involves the use, at least in part, of the Internet where such bet or wager is unlawful under any applicable Federal or State law in the State or Tribal lands in which the bet or wager is initiated, received or otherwise made”. As a member of St. Jean’s Credit Union, these restricted transactions are prohibited from being processed through your account or banking relationship with us. 

You understand that if you engage in an Internet gambling business and a new account is opened with St. Jean’s Credit Union, we will ask that you provide evidence of your legal capacity to do so.
