Online Gambling is a type of gambling that is played over the Internet. These types of online games include virtual poker, casino games and sports betting. There are many different sites that offer these types of games.
The first website to offer a legal gambling site was the Liechtenstein International Lottery. This site allowed players from all over the world to bet on sports. It was also the first online gambling venue to offer a general public.
A more recent example is the U.S. Department of Justice’s response to the issue of whether federal law can preempt state action in the Internet arena. In this case, the Department cites a number of statutes and legal precedents.
One such statute is the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. It regulates the commercial activity of internet gambling businesses. Another statute is the Wire Act. Both of these laws have their limitations.
While the Wire Act seems to apply to every telecommunications facility in the country, there is an exception for acts that are legal in both the source and destination locations.
For example, a website promoting a skill game may be an illegal act in one state but legal in another. However, the Wire Act does not require that such an act be a technologically advanced game.
The same may not be true of the Travel Act, which is a statute aimed at players who engage in unlawful activities by using interstate facilities.
