Illegal Online Gambling
 

by Jerry "Jet" Whittaker

Illegal online gambling

Gambling online is now been made very strictly illegal. A new bill is been introduced in the US legislature which says “gamble online and you could go to jail”. This bill is known as the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act. This act will makes it illegal to bet over telephone, or through the internet. The law also says that gambling using the internet is illegal in the US, but it also seeks to target offshore gambling sites that are frequently in use by the Americans. These offshore sites are specially forbidden from accepting credit cards, checks or any type of cash from the US players. Penalties for violation have been raised from two to five years in jail, where your only gambling will be with cigarettes.

Online gambling has been a growth industry for the past several years. Sports books were also famous for some time. More recently the rice of a number of poker game sites, some of which are pay to play supported the growth of the industry. These internet gambling sites are estimated to take in upward of US $12 billion annually. Half of that comes from gamblers in the US, and the impact of this is that many of the Americans are using the offshore gambling sites.

The reasons why online or internet gambling is made illegal because children are very found of internet and they may tend to try something new and end up with online gambling. The other reason is that online gambling will lead to a rise in gambling addictions. Gambling addictions increase because of the gambling environment of the online casinos. This is because the gambler is not using the chip money and he is not sure of how much he has won or lost. Although unspoken by the mist state officials, a fourth reason why states want to prohibit online gambling may be because of the need to protect state revenues generated by legal and state-run gambling operations. The legalization of online gambling can cause gamblers to gamble illegally. This can protect the state revenue by taxes on gambling.

These are the reasons why the states are trying to make gambling online illegal. This in turn will save the people and will help in the profit of the state in some way or the other.
