Around the world, the online casino phenomenon continues to gain greater momentum with the number of players worldwide reaching into the hundreds of millions. More markets across the continents are joining the revolution but in the case of one of the leading markets in the industry, there is an interesting narrative unfolding across the country.
The U.S is always at the forefront of things across all industries, and for the emerging online casino market, the U.S already enjoys a successful and lucrative relationship with it. However, the concept of federalism that characterizes the way the country and individual states are governed allows for an array of opinions and legislation to be expressed across the country.
Despite the global popularity of online casino play and the ability to potentially export play to other countries, only seven states in the U.S have so far legalized online casino play within their boundaries. New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia make up the states that permit online gambling, which also includes online sports betting.
