Landmark Ruling for US Online Casino Prospects
You might have realized that there are some states where residents are allowed to play at online casinos. Years ago, this was not possible and the federal government cracked down hard on online poker operators in the early-2000s by invoking the 1961 Wire Act. However, the situation is changing and the emergence of states with legal casino sites could soon break the flood gates and lead to regulation across the entire nation.
Resolution in Wire Act Dispute
While under the Obama administration, the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) issued a controversial opinion in 2011. Back then, the OLC stated that the 1961 Wire Act, which was been used to proclaim the illegality of online gambling at the federal level, only applies to sporting events and not online gambling.
