Are $ US online casinos illegal?

Does this mean online casinos are illegal?

No, not at all. Their different locations are due to jurisdiction and local legalities and are nothing for the player to worry about.

The actual legality though of playing at an online casino depends on where you live. In North America, which incidentally is the largest market for online casinos, it is deemed to be a ‘grey’ area.

This does not mean it is against the law for US citizens to gamble online – it just means there is no clear legislation that makes it illegal.

In the UK, there is no legislation that makes it illegal for UK residents to gamble online. Indeed, with the passing of the new UK Gambling Bill, the government have ensured that the UK head the way with regulation of what is a multi-billion pound industry.

Whether you are UK resident or not, we would advise anyone thinking about gambling online to contact their local gambling authority to get the most up-to-date views.
