Best Online Gambling Sites – Gambling.org Since 1996

There are many places around our planet that allow people to gamble online legally. They are most often operating in alliance with local gaming regulators and are legal gambling sites in the sense they are legally licensed to operate a website that operates as an online casino, bingo site, poker room, sportsbook or lottery site for example.

There are also places that dont have any internet gambling laws established. In those locations, its is not illegal to wager on the web because there arent any laws making it illegal. However, since they dont have regulations in place that means people are wagering at sites that are not licensed by local cyber gaming regulators.

All of these issues make the topic of legal online gambling somewhat confusing in the unregulated regions with no laws against gaming in cyberspace.

Lets take Florida for example. Florida does not have any laws on online betting established. So for players in Florida it is not illegal to bet on the net.

But players in Florida are not allowed to play at online casinos operating in Pennsylvania for example.

This is because in Pennsylvania, they have established laws about internet betting. So for players in PA, it is lawful to wager at internet casinos that are licensed by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

As more states start their own adoptions of regulating online gambling sites in their state its important that state regulators and internet/mobile gaming operators build in safety measures to protect problem gamblers.

Like PA, West Virginia recently started to regulate internet casino gaming for people in state boarders. See the forums to learn more about the best online casinos in WV.

For most US players, offshore internet casinos remain available to people in the United States who are NOT located in a state with internet betting regulations. Players that do live in a state with regulated virtual wagering should only gamble at state regulated gambling websites.
