Clearing Up the Facts

The online casino gambling situation in the United States is a pretty tricky area for a lot of people to easily understand. One of the most common issues in the industry right now is the misrepresentation of facts concerning the industry and the continued spread of this false information by anti-gambling groups. The laws regarding internet gambling in the US are very complex and simple explanations and finger-pointing by the internet gambling opponents is not doing the companies, the online casinos, or the industry any good. Clear and accurate information is needed and that is just the obstacle facing supporters of a regulated and licensed US internet gambling industry.

The Appeals Court ruling last month has really confused even high-level spokespersons for anti-online casino gambling initiatives. The Appeals Court ruling upheld the individual state right to prohibit the financial transactions between online casinos and internet gamblers within the state. The opponents of the industry though was recently interviewed on OneNewsNow and implied that the ruling upholds the federal law that prohibits internet gambling in the US.

There is no such law in the United States. At the federal level, online casino gambling is legal for the internet gamblers. The UIGEA, the key piece of US legislation in question, only applies to the financial transactions and payment levels of gambling. At this point in time internet gambling is legal for individual gamblers at the federal level. The state level is an entirely different matter and several states have criminalized internet gambling in the past several years.
