U.S. Online Gambling Law
Can U.S. citizens legally gamble online?
Maybe Yes, maybe No!
How does the U.S. Online Gambling Law affect ordinary citizens?The federal Unlawful Internet Gambling and Enforcement Act, so much talked about these days, governs the transfer of funds to online gambling establishments. In the United States it is now illegal for banks and other financial institutions to process online gambling transactions, but this law does not criminalize individuals for playing at online casinos.Federal law does not actually prohibit online gambling, but the laws of some U.S. states might. At Online Gambling Law in the U.S.A. you can read what the law for your state says. Many online casinos still accept players from all U.S. states, some do not allow players from certain states, while still others do not allow any U.S. players at all. The difficulty is the depositing and withdrawing of funds, since services like Neteller and bank transfers are no longer an option for U.S. citizens. You might try ewalletexpress or firepay, which are services similar to Paypal. Or simply call or email a casino's customer service department and ask what alternatives they offer. This information is not to be considered legal advice. If you are a U.S. resident and want to gamble online, I urge you to check the law for your particular jurisdiction and/or consult an attorney. back to Slotadvisor home pageOnlineSlots Pages
