The laws in a country regarding online gambling are always changing. This question can only be answered by the local legal representatives of your area. But no one has been convicted for online gambling so far. Even the people who live in states where gambling is illegal have not been convicted for gambling in online casinos. The person who has any chances of getting in trouble is the owner of online casino.
A gambler has never been reported as being in trouble for playing in an online casino. As the owner of an online casino is the one who gets in trouble, these owners are very careful when it comes to allowing a gambler in their online casinos. They would not allow you access inside their online casinos if there is danger that accepting wager from you would land them in trouble.
According to the Justice Department, internet gambling is illegal for all the Americans from what so ever state. Internet gambling is covered under the 1961 Wire Wager Act, which makes it illegal for placing bets on phone lines. But there has been no case so far in which an online gambler has been convicted or prosecuted. |
