The risk is yours...

In a nutshell, U.S. legislation surrounding online gambling has been?and continues to be? somewhat unclear.

The main point to remember is that no federal law exists that prevents U.S. citizens from engaging in online gambling or any related activity. And, even after the passing of the UIGEA in 2006, this essentially remains the case.

Online gambling expert, Professor I. Nelson Rose, explicitly states that online gambling should be regarded as perfectly legal as “no United States federal statute or regulation explicitly prohibits online gambling, either domestically or abroad.”

The Legality of Online Gambling

Gambling online falls into a legal grey area. While it is technically illegal in most of the United States, the prosecution and conviction of individual players is very difficult because they're gambling from home. It is also illegal for a gambling Web site to operate within the United States, which is why the offices and servers of most online casinos are located in other countries. There are about 70 countries that allow online gambling sites to set up shop, including Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, and some provinces of Canada.

When you register for an online casino, you are required to agree to the site's terms and conditions. Finding out whether or not gambling is legal where you live is your responsibility. You must also abide by any age limits set on gambling in your locality. If online gambling is illegal in your area, and authorities discover that you've won money, your winnings could be forfeit.
