This is the wording in the USA statute:

GAMBLING-

(1) PROHIBITION- Subject to subsection (e), it shall be unlawful for a person knowingly to use the Internet or any other interactive computer service--

(A) to place, receive, or otherwise make a bet or wager with any person; or

(B) to send, receive, or invite information assisting in the placing of a bet or wager with the intent to send, receive, or invite information assisting in the placing of a bet or wager.

(2) PENALTIES- A person who violates paragraph (1) shall be--

(A) fined in an amount that is not more than the greater of--

(i) three times the greater of--

(I) the total amount that the person is found to have wagered through the Internet or other interactive computer service; or

(II) the total amount that the person is found to have received as a result of such wagering; or

(ii) $500;

(B) imprisoned not more than 3 months; or

(C) both.


However, I'd still argue that remotely accessing your bot located in AUS, from the USA, to see how it was going, wouldn't be an offence IMHO?
