Current Laws

According to the Federal Interstate Wireline Act, it is currently illegal to offer online wagering via the Internet in the United States of America. The Interstate Wireline Act bans gambling operations from remote locations unless states specifically permit it. The Interstate Wireline Act forbids interstate gambling over the telephone or other wired devices but not the Internet by name.

No US court has ruled that the Wire Act includes the Internet to this date.

In layman's terms, this means you can't legally run a web server that resides in the USA and offer gambling from that application server over the Internet.

Sites listed on AnteUp Gambling Links that offer online wagering declare that they are legally licensed by the country in which their application server originates.

Consult your local authorities prior to registering with any online wagering service.  U.S. Citizens be advised: The use of information on this site in violation of any federal, state or local laws is prohibited.

New Laws?

The Kyl Bill is proposed anti-gambling legislation sponsored by Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) in the Senate and Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) in the U.S. House of Representatives.  The bill was pork barreled through the Senate and was passed 90-10 on July 23, 1998.  The bill still needs to be passed by the House of Representatives and signed by the President.

This bill, if it becomes law, would make it illegal to take a bet from within the US over the Internet (even if the person taking the bet is located outside of the US); to place a bet from the US via the internet; and allow court orders forcing Internet Service Providers (ISP's) to block access to gaming sites on the Internet.

The Kyl Bill threatens freedom of the Internet. If the government outlaws wagering on the net, what's next ???

The bill aims to protect our children - to keep minors from gambling on the Internet. This makes no sense as everyone knows that you need a credit card to wager on the net.  Minors don't have easy access to credit cards in the U.S. 

The Kyl bill must be stopped.  You must help.  Simply visit the Internet Consumers Choice Coalition and send your opinion to your representative.  Or you may contact your representative directly and tell them to regulate Internet Gambling, but don't outlaw it
