Fortunately, the World Trade Organization, which sets up trading agreements among its member countries, has taken the issue seriously. For example, Antigua and Barbuda argued that the United States’ ban on online gambling was harming their economy. The World Trade Organization, however, found that the United States’ laws on online gambling were in violation of international trade agreements. Despite the ruling, the United Kingdom and Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board have refused to amend their laws to allow online gambling.
Other countries restrict online gambling, but most US states, Canada and most European nations are open to it. While online gambling is not regulated in every state, it is legal in some territories. Some countries have stricter regulations than others, including Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. As long as the website is licensed by a regulatory authority, it is legal to play online. But, this doesn’t mean that it’s completely legal everywhere.
