State laws around gambling in the USįor the most part, the US government leaves it up to states to make their own rules about gambling within their individual boundaries. Note that online fantasy sports leagues, including daily fantasy sports platforms, are exempt from the 2006 Act. As a result, there are a number of overseas gambling websites, such as Bovada and BetOnline, that accept wagers from Americans. But, it doesn’t make it illegal for individuals to place wagers on an online gambling website.
The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 makes it illegal to operate an online gambling website anywhere in the US.
