The
Legality Of Online Gambling
|
|
The
ability to gamble online is a topic that
has caused many debates. It's been a
very hot topic ever since the first
online casinos opened their sites to the
awaiting public in 1995. Casinos and
gambling was very simple back then.
There were states that allowed gambling
and there were states and locations
where it was forbidden to gamble.
Nevada, Atlantic City and New Jersey are
just some of the states that accepted
gamblers with open arms.
During this time, internet casinos
started to open and gamblers started to
turn towards the internet to get their
gambling fix. The government and law
authority figures have had a difficult
time trying to monitor and keep up with
all the legal issues that online
gambling may present. The very first
cyber casinos were located in areas like
Barbuda and Antigua. Both places are in
the Caribbean which means they are
protected by laws such as Free Trade and
Processing Zone Act. These casinos were
considered off-shore casinos and were
perfectly reasonable and legal to
operate under the right circumstances.
However, because these casinos were
available for gamblers to play online,
just about anyone could play these games
via the internet. The possible legal
problems begin to rise, and the online
casinos became a murky topic.
It's illegal for an online internet
casino to be set up in America. Should
it be forbidden for someone to play or
gamble on the internet at the internet
casinos too? The Wire Wager Act makes it
impossible and illegal for anyone to use
the electronic wire process to transfer
gambling money or gambling winnings to
any facility where gambling is illegal.
The internet can be used as a way to
electronically wire money. The criminal
wouldn't be the person who was doing the
gambling; it would be the casino owners
who would be in trouble with the law.
However, these online casinos are not
based in the United States, so they
cannot be prosecuted in the same manner.
Everyone who has signed up as a member
for an online casino has probably seen,
at one time or another, a terms of use
agreement page. In fact, most of the
online casinos require you to read and
accept the terms of use before you can
proceed any further into the game. One
of the lines that you may have read in
the terms of use is the statement about
it being the user's responsibility to
contact the local law authorities in the
user's area and find out whether or not
gambling online is allowed.
Some countries accept and allow people
to create online casinos such as
Australia, South Korea, France, Germany
and certain areas of Canada. Over
seventy countries will allow their
people to gamble online, but each
country does have its own rules and laws
that pertain to online gambling.
Internet casinos will be around for a
long time, and with more opening up
every so often, more and more people
will be turning towards the internet to
do their gambling online.
