The current legal situation of online betting in the USA isn’t what you’d call ideal. Each one of the 50 states is free to pass its own laws on the matter. In short, it’s free to decide if it makes online betting legal or not. An industry that generates billions of dollars per year, online betting has numerous economic benefits for each state where it’s legal. Even though the number of states allowing it is on the rise, many are adamant that they will never legalize it. This leaves American bettors in a state of flux. You can bet online legally in the states where it is allowed, but if you come from Utah, for example, no such luck. The good news is that there is a solution – offshore betting sites.
