Is online gambling legal in Illinois?

Raymundo Kyser: I've been subscribing to PennyStock Egghead for about a year now and have loved the objective advice Nathan gives. http://penny-stock.keysolve.netHe really does look for quality stocks and I've made some pretty nice profits on a lot of his suggestions. Being still fairly new to investing I have been dabbling a lot in penny stocks to try and grow my account. I may not have a big account, but it's a lot bigger than it was a year ago. On just one of Nathan's picks this year I managed to make my investment back ten-fold!Check this website: http://penny-stock.keysolve.net...Show more

Shad Bushweller: what do u get if you win? if its nothing you FAIL

Nelly Kikuchi: On 30 September 2006 the US Congress passed The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcem! ent Act of , after being attached to a Port Security measure that was sure to pass. .........The first thing to note is that the bill does not prohibit a poker enthusiast from playing online poker. .....................Online poker has NOT been banned. At least not in the latest bill passed in congress. The bill only has to do with the funding of accounts. It has nothing to do with actually playing poker online....Show more

Dalila Yoon: I am writi! ng a college report on the online gambling industry. It is a lengthy "Analytical" report.I am looking for places that might state how much they make ect, ect.Please, don't tell me Google or something like that. You don't have to be a smart ***.

Rubi Romo: In terms of laws surrounding online gambling, the most important one in the US is the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (2006) (check out http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Unlawfu... and look out for any more specific information you can find in libraries etc.), which put significant restrictions on the industry.You may also wish to look into the stances being taken by McCain and! Obama over the issue in the lead up to the election - Obama in particu! lar has express desire to look into regulating the practice, rather than banning it (check out http://www.jackpot.co.uk/online-casino-news/news.h... as this page has some articles on both candidates, as well as the ongoing struggle between Antingua and the US over online gambling, which may be of interest). Also look into a man named Barney Frank, who is one of the industry's biggest proponents in congress (http://www.barneyfrank.net/) and continues to fight for legalised online gambling.More information on international laws in general can be found at http://www.jackpot.co.uk/online-casino-regulation.... - that site has some good info on the industry in general.Good luck finding out what you need, hope that helped a little!ETA: I just found this, it's the original text of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act that I mentioned - this should be really helpful when talking about the legal side! http://www.rules.house.gov/109_2nd/text/hr4954cr/h......Show more

Fritz Sisomphou: There is NO federal law that makes the act of wagering online illegal. The only federal law that addresses! gambling is the wire act from the 1960's which makes it illegal to place wagers via the telephone. The US government passed a port security law and tacked on provisions (UIGEA) that make it illegal for BANKS, not players, to fund or accept payment from gaming sources. The only problem (for the govt) is that there are dozens of third party methods available for funding and no way to trace ACH credits. In other words, the new provisions are only for show and the end result is a waste of ink. I still use my VISA check card and e-check on my favorite sites. Online gaming will be impossible to completely eliminate from the US. The best they can do is make it inconvenient. Eventually I see the industry being regulated and taxed...heavily!The only states with laws directed towards online wagering are Michigan, Illinois, Louisiana, Oregon, Wisconsin, Washington, Indiana, Nevada, New York, New Jersey and South Dakota. Although these states do have specific laws pertaining to online! gaming, there has not been any charges laid.Some sites have decided, o! n their own, to no longer accept American players. These are the publicly traded companies and most have returned to private owners. There are still many highly reputable sites that welcome and cater to American clients.I have wagered online for years and make good money betting on sports and playing poker.
