ANY sort of license to conduct business in US ?

I'm having a bit of trouble with Absolute Poker... nothing major... they just ticked me off with one of their misleading policies and so I'd like to contact someone about this since they're giving me the run around.

Anyway... I've traced the domain name back to an Absolute Entertainment S.A. based out of San Jose Costa Rica.

Do these online poker sites have to obtain any sort of license (gaming, business, etc.) in order to conduct business in the United States (e.g. allowing US citizens to play on their software)?

If anyone can fill me in, I'd much appreciate it!

Thanks!

Since they are hosted off shore, they wouldn't need any sort of license for US Citizens to play. In fact that is the reason why they are located offshore.
