Well, for now, it is illegal in almost every state here in the U.S. Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware have either already legalized it or are in the process of doing so, and several other states are following suite. However, Wager Wars is no being launched in the U.S... yet.
What we can't quite figure out is how the U.S. is supposed to be the leader of the free world, yet online gaming is illegal here while legal in numerous other countries around the globe. And, why can Indian reservations carve out their piece of the pie here in the states? It just doesn't make sense? With all of this going on, states are starving for revenue, and we all know that one way to increase revenue is through a tax mechanism. If online gaming is regulated here in the states, that provides a whole new, lucrative industry for states to tax and increase revenues. Not only that, it is estimated that tens of thousands of jobs would be created in each state.
For these very reasons, states such as Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware have put it upon themselves to represent the pioneering American spirit and letting the people decide. True democracy. The people spoke, voted and passed the regulation of online gaming in a landslide.
