<1. Online casinos.
Online casinos allow you to place bets on casino type gambling games.
The outcome of the games is determined by software which is programmed
to give a pre-determined return on games.
A wide choice of games is offered based on traditional casino games of
roulette, blackjack, craps, slots, baccarat, poker, video poker, red
dog, Pai Gow Poker, Sic Bo etc.
In order to gamble players must be over 18 or 21 years of age
depending on the site. Proof of identity is often required,
particularly for large payouts.
To start gambling, a player needs to deposit money with the casino. A
wide variety of payment options are available.
There are generally three types of casino. The first kind allows you
to download a free program to your computer. This type of casino
offers good graphics, sound and animation. The second type uses JAVA
instead of a downloaded program. This type also has good graphics
sound and animation. The third kind of casino uses HTML. These type of
casinos do not have the superior graphic and sound offered by the
other two types.

Not all online casinos can be trusted. The Internet Gaming Commission
produces lists of casinos where caution is urged and also produces a
list of licensed and accredited casinos. Before parting with any money
it is highly advisable to check that a casino is not blacklisted or
has a bad reputation.

2. State and federal laws.
Online gambling is illegal in the USA under federal law. It is
prohibited under the Federal Wire Wager Act.
http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/1084.html
Courts generally have agreed that the 1961 Wire Communications Act,
which prohibited the use of interstate or international
telecommunication wires to transmit bets, applies to the Internet,
making online gambling illegal in this USA.
To get around the law many online gambling sites operate from offshore
locations including the Caribbean, Europe and the Pacific rim.
Antigua and Barbuda has filed a complaint with the World Trade
Organisation about American laws banning the transfer of funds to
offshore gambling operations.
http://www.southofboston.net/specialreports/casinos/pages/casinos-folo1-090403.html
Is Online Gambling Legal?
This quote from Kenneth F. Hense, the country's foremost lawyer in the
world of gambling appears on the Internet Gambling Commission website.
He says offshore bookmaking is legal and beyond the jurisdiction of
the United States government. Hense said John Russell of the United
States Department of Justice said in April and again in July that the
justice department has no jurisdiction over offshore bookmakers.
According to Hense, here is what both bettor and bookmaker must do to
avoid breaking the law:
There first must be a transfer of money from the bettor to a bank
account in a foreign country. The money can not be transferred from
bettor to bookmaker. The bank, working with the bettor and bookmaker,
then becomes the third party to betting, paying the bookmaker when the
bettor loses and accepting transfers from the bookmaker when the
bettor wins. Both bookmaker and bettor do their business via a
legitimate banking facility and not between each other.
The player can then have the foreign bank transfer his money, in
dollars, back to his American bank account any time he wishes. The key
is the money transfer, Hense said. "If the money is transferred
directly from a bettor in the United States to a bookmaker in a
foreign country, or vice versa, that could permit the U.S. government
to claim jurisdiction under the Travel Act and everybody could be in
trouble."
By using the third-party foreign bank as an intermediary, there is no
violation of the Travel Act, and the money and what it is to be used
for moves beyond the jurisdiction of the United States government,
Hense said.

Some states including Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, Oregon and South
Dakota have enacted laws specifically prohibiting certain types of
Internet gambling.

Most full-service credit card companies such as American Express and
Discover prohibit cardholders from using their cards to gamble online.
Card associations, such as MasterCard and Visa, have transaction codes
that banks can use to block suspect payments. Such companies do not
accept online gambling sites as merchants.
The house has passed a bill that requires credit card companies and
banks to block all card transactions, including debit cards and other
electronic means.
