The Myth That Online Gambling Is Effectively Banned Anywhere In The US

(Washington).- Every year, myriad efforts exist to expand gambling in state legislatures across the United States. In recent years those efforts have included forms of online gambling, with online sports betting getting far more adoption and legalization than casino, lottery and poker. SoloAzar shares an article about the myth of online gambling in the USA.
The online sports betting is somehow different than other forms of online gambling from the perspective of legalising it. But the sports betting lobbying efforts have been widespread and effective, which accounts for most of that.
When there’s hand-wringing about the legalization of online casino (and poker), it amuses me that this is the line in the sand that states want to draw. You can gamble in infinite ways, both in person and online in most states, but regulated online casino (or really, anything that’s not sports betting) is often a bridge too far, apparently.
Of course, there are offshore online sportsbooks, casinos and poker rooms that serve most of the US without batting an eyelash. But this isn’t even going to be a rant about that. This is just a look at the other stOffshore, daily fantasy, sweepstakes, lotteries: Online gambling is already pervasive in the United States whether a state has regulated online sports betting or not. You’re not stopping online gambling from happening, and sometimes your state lottery or daily fantasy laws are helping it to happen.
Will states and legacy casino companies adapt to that or let the status quo persist? The smart money is probably on the latter, but it doesn’t have to be that way.uff that is easily available in the United States. It’s mostly that all this hand-wringing over legalizing another form of gambling is mostly performative or uninformed. Offshore options are just one example of that.
