There is no denying how quickly online gambling has spread across the globe. But some countries are still in limbo over the controversy and have yet to make a decision.
The online casino industry is waiting patiently for the US to join them. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) is making online gambling illegal in the country and preventing banks and credit card companies from processing any related transactions.
In total, more than 80 countries have given in to online gambling and recognize the many benefits of doing so. Individual countries or even groups of them have implemented rules that set limits on individuals who gamble. The UK Gambling Act is an example of this. It came into effect in 2007 to protect children from online gambling, as well as any other individuals who needed intervention. Regulated online gambling also protects players against casino fraudsters.

It will be legalized eventually. As soon as they figure out how to tax the crap out of it. Too much money involved to ignore it.

I totally agree that there is too much money to be made off online gambling for them to not eventually legalize it. Look at the states that do have regular legalized gambling casinos and tell me what's the difference?
What do they consider the Lottery ? Isn't that gambling?

Online gambling is definitely moving forward but whether the US is moving with it is another thing entirely. 😄
