Legalization of Online Betting and Casinos in United States

The myth:

The most controversial topic that hovers our mind from time to time is what actually is the status of online gambling in the United States?

Is it legal to bet online in the USA? Is it against the laws to bet on sports in the USA?

These types of misperceptions and confusions have not been able to make the status of online betting and casinos clear yet in the USA.

To break the myth, online gambling is prohibited by the Federal Law in the US. It is in fact, not supported by the law in any way but, however, there are some laws amended to keep an eye on the activities related to online gambling since online gambling is done from home and it is difficult to find convicts and prosecute them individually.
