Federal Solicitation Legal Requirements
Summary
Federal solicitation charges require clear intent to engage in illegal activities, either under federal law or in a jurisdiction where the act is illegal. Ambiguous statements without specifying an illegal intent or location are generally insufficient for charges. For solicitation of drugs, sexual activity, or racketeering, intent and agreement are crucial. Misleading under oath can be perjury if the false statement is material and made knowingly. If a person misleads by saying something true, it is not perjury. Intent and knowledge of the law are critical factors in determining criminal liability.Full Conversation

No, simply saying "let's go gambling" without any intention of racketeering and without specifying where the gambling would take place does not necessarily constitute solicitation for racketeering. Solicitation requires an intent to engage in illegal activities.
