A "restricted transaction" is defined as a transaction or transmittal involving any credit, funds, instruments or proceeds that the Act prohibits a person engaged in the business of betting or wagering from knowingly accepting in connection with the participation of another person in unlawful internet gambling. Restricted transactions generally include, but are not limited to, those in which credit, electronic fund transfers, checks, or drafts are knowingly accepted by gambling businesses in connection with the participation by others in unlawful internet gambling.
