Status of US Internet Gambling

The US is leaning towards legalizing internet gambling before 2009. The US Congress is gathering up support to enact a new law that will regulate the industy. At the federal level, the US has placed a prohibition on internet gambling banking transactions but the each US State is allowed to create their own rules if desired.

Each US state has been oked to go ahead and legalize their own laws regarding internet gambling. Out of the 50 US states none of them have taken action to create new internet gambling laws to make it legal. The closest any state has come to legalizing it is by not stating they have Expressed Prohibition.

The best thing the US public can do to help legalize internet gambling is to educate other citizens on the myths and fact of the industry. A good place to start is at Online Gambling Education. There is too much fear about online gambling, and it must be taught to everyone with internet access.
