Online Gambling Is Illegal in the US

[LinusKS]

All the arguments over Federal legislation miss the point.

Gambling legislation is primarily the domain of the states, not the federal government. That's why you may be able to gamble in Las Vegas, but not in Omaha.

Even where gambling is legal - Las Vegas, for example - it's legal only to the extent it's specifically licensed by the state. Every casino on the strip has a license from Nevada. If it didn't have a license from Nevada, it wouldn't be legal to gamble there.

It's not any more legal for Party to offer games to Nevadans online, than it would be for Party to set itself up on the strip, without bothering to get a license from Nevada. The fact that Party has a license from Gibraltar (or wherever) makes not one gnat's ass worth of difference, as far as American law is concerned.
