Gambling online is\nperfectly legal here in the UK. That includes betting in casinos, whether we\nare talking conventional bricks and mortar buildings online casinos, or betting\nwebsites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike many other countr around the world, sports betting and live sports betting is also quite lawful. It means that if you want to bet on say, UK soccer when you are abroad, you will have to check whether or not you will be permitted to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until recently sports\nbetting was illegal in the USA. But when in May 2018 the US Supreme Court\nendorsed New Jersey\u2019s assertion that the betting ban that was put in place back\nin 1992 was an infringement of civil liberties, it signalled the potential for\na nationwide legalising of sports gambling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before gambling\nstarted to become allowed in some states in the USA the illegal betting scene\nwas estimated to be worth approximately $150-billion per annum. it was not\ntherefore surprising that research carried out by the American Gaming\nAssociation revealed that eight out of ten people believe in making\nsports-gambling lawful in their states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This coming weekend sees the 53rd Super Bowl<\/a> taking place in Atlanta, Georgia, between the\nNew England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams. The forecast is that 23-million\nUS citizens will be wagering a staggering $6-billion on this single event. When\nyou consider that this is approximately the same sum that bet in the whole of\n2018 it is quite staggering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to bet on this event<\/a> from here in the UK, you won’t have a problem.\nBut if you were holidaying in May in some US states which are yet to legalise\ngambling, you wouldn’t, for example, be able to bet on the outcome of the\nEnglish FA Cup final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There were eight US states in the US at the end of\n2018 that had already legalised sports betting, and there are a further 12 set\nto do so in 2019. You can click here<\/a> for a summary of where the various states are at\nin terms of gambling legality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you do travel abroad and you want to be able to\nplace a bet of some sporting event or another, the place to start regarding\nchecking out whether or not you will be able to do so, is with your chosen\nbetting platform.

There is no finite\nagreement of course. In addition, remember that the gambling industry across\nthe EU is not centrally regulated. So we will just have to wait and see what\nthe outcome is going to be on a country by country basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you would like to read up a little more about this,\nyou\u2019ll find some helpful information on the Onlinebetting.org.uk\nwebsite<\/a>.<\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
