    America has prevented american banks from processing proceeds from gambling making it impossible for americans to play online not actually illegal to do it

    The big news on making online gambling illegal has been coming out of the US, not the UK.

    There’s an interesting article here that explains what’s happened in the US…http://www.bettingbots.com/blog/?p=60
    …but there isn’t a chance the UK authorities will do anything similar. Gambling is illegal in 50 states in the US, always was, but it’s perfectly legal on this side of the water and I can’t imagine that will ever change.

    No – it’s perfectly legal and you can find a list of approved UK online casinos here:http://www.casinotimes.co.uk/online-casi…
    For the record, it’s not illegal in the US either. The recent legislation was targeted at banking and financial institutions – not players. There has been much confusion over this issue but you can find plenty of online casinos happy to accept US online casino players here:http://www.casinotimes.co.uk/online-casi…

    no, they are perfectly legal but i think they are going to bring in some laws so only a certain amount can be spent a day. this is to try and stop the addicts.

    Not in the UK once it is a registered company.
    Haven’t you seen all those banners on sports websites?
    It is illegal in some countries for religious reasons, ie Muslims.
