Is Online Gambling Legal


The issue of whether or not online gambling is legal is extremely complicated and varies from country to country and even state to state.

In most states of the USA it is illegal for money to be transmitted or received for online gambling, while under federal law it is illegal to operate a betting or wagering business using telephone lines or the internet.

Online gambling however is not illegal in a number of other countries including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Sweden, Germany, and the Dominion Republic. The casinos established in these countries however must not solicit business from other countries and can be tried under the Wire Wager Act (1994) in the USA.

Having said that however, Forbes magazine reported that Americans make up approximately 90% of the worlds online gamblers, with funds flowing straight into casinos established in other countries. There are many sites that are not illegal as you do not have to pay to play.

With the online gaming industry such a lucrative market, it surely won't be long before the laws will be changed in the USA, and already some of the gaming industries biggest players are positioning themselves for this moment.

Until then however, you might want to check out the legalities of online gambling specific to where you live. Of course, it goes without saying that every player has the responsibility of investigating the legality of them gambling online, regardless of where they reside.
