Online gambling is any type of gambling conducted via the internet. This includes casinos, live poker and online sports betting amongst others. The first online gambling site opened to the public, was ticketing at the Las Vegas World Casino in October 1994. Since then there have been numerous online gambling sites that have grown to more than one hundred and twenty five worldwide.

Most online gambling sites offer different types of games to suit every taste and preference that a player may have. There are bingo and blackjack games, although poker has become one of the most popular online gambling sites. Many players enjoy playing the virtual version of these games, whilst others prefer to bet real money. Players can play at their own leisure and the type of game they wish to play is entirely up to them. It’s also possible to interact with other players either through chat or through other tools such as message boards and forums.

If online gambling were to be legalized, it would increase the amount of legal activity and business in the first state that legalized it. Therefore if a player wanted to start up an online betting company in the first state where it was legalized, that player would have to apply for a license in the first state. It would not only require a considerable amount of investment capital, but also a significant amount of employees. In most states it is currently illegal for an individual to operate an online betting company, so it would make sense for any state which wanted to legalize online gambling to enact some form of law that made it illegal for an individual to operate a company that was based within their state.
