Yes, but think about what would happen if tomorrow Gox, the largest exchange, no longer allowed trading to all Canadian/US clients. It would pretty much be what happened to online poker after UIGEA, at least until someone sets up a legitimate, trustworthy exchange and establishes it as the new #1. Thus, it's a non-trivial lawsuit imo.

They're not immune just because they're in Japan. Various interlocutories and especially Judgment in favour of the Plaintiff could easily result in Gox having to suspend trading privileges to US/Canadian clients.

The "good" part of the news is that a) lawsuits are very slow; and b) the more hopeless Gox's side of the case is the more likely they are to settle before shit gets real.

Possible. However, in the document it says it was filed May 2 (today), so it's very reasonable that it hasn't been served yet.

If this is legit and Gox hasn't yet been served then it would be because Coinlab's attorneys have already filed the suit, but have yet to serve. A court house search in that jurisdiction would confirm or debunk this, but that won't be possible until tomorrow anyway.

With a BTC casino/betting house there's really nothing stopping the site operator from running the game as if it were a backroom three card monty.

At least when you waste money at the casino, the casinos are bound by statutory law to operate the games within specific mathematical house advantages. You still lose, but at least you have a chance to run hot.

With online BTC casinos you may have no or almost no chance to win.

Be weary of anything connected to the CCP. You'll get fleeced.

Build multiple 4x 7950 rigs and collect LTC.

Just make sure you're profitable after electricity costs in your locale.

You can send PMs after one post though, so you can try to buy shit that way.

AFAIK the Gox release last week was the latest update.
