Full section analysis

Affiliate marketing and advertising of gambling products fall within the same general prohibition that governs gambling activity itself under 31 MIRC Ch.4: processing or facilitating gambling-related activity for Marshall Islands-facing customers carries exposure under sections 402 and 404, and the statute provides no registration, carve-out, or safe-harbour regime specific to affiliates, advertising networks, or app-store distribution of gambling products. There is no distribution-platform rule, ISP-blocking instrument, search-de-listing mechanism, or payment-provider platform restriction specific to gambling beyond the general prohibition's reach. An affiliate or distribution platform reaching Marshall Islands-connected customers should accordingly be read as falling within the same exposure as a payment processor or operator servicing the same flows, given the absence of any carve-out distinguishing intermediary roles from direct operation under the statute.
