Since its inception, gambling has been looked at with a side eye. It is no secret that the activity is commonly (and mostly falsely) associated with crooks who are out to fleece the unsuspecting person. Gambling has come a long way and is now accessible via the internet. Online betting has evolved over the years and Online Betting now is a billion dollar industry. With such amounts being made, it has drawn in a large number of players and Online Betting investors.

The question now becomes, just how legal or illegal is it? Running or operating any form of gambling website from the United States is beyond doubt illegal, Online Betting as is gambling through such sites.  That is to say, if you are doing your online gambling through a website that is located within the US, then your actions are very much illegal. However, it is acceptable to gamble online as long as the website is not grounded in the US.
