The third and final important gambling related law in the US is the UIGEA law, also known as the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which does not affect the legality of player participation in online gambling, contrary to popular belief. This law, in fact, provides regulatory oversight concerning how online gambling transactions can be processed. The Act does not address or target players in any way, nor does it prohibit US players from enjoying online gambling options. The UIGEA is directed at payment processors and attempts to establish a safe and secure environment for processing gambling related transactions free of fraudulent and money laundering activities.
