| Q. Is online gambling legal?
|
| A. In many countries it is perfectly legal to gamble online. The
United States is a little more complicated only because of the ongoing debate,
or perhaps struggle, to control online casinos and gambling. The US
Senate has been moving forward with legislation that will make most forms of
online gambling illegal -- including gambling at online casinos. How this
will be enforced if it ever becomes law is unclear. The proposed legislation
targets casino operators, not the average person gambling from their
home. Surprisingly enough, Nevada and New Jersey are considering
legislation that will allow Las Vegas casinos and New Jersey casinos to legally
operate online casinos. Some estimates indicate that up to 90% of online
gamblers are in the US - amazing cynical thought really. Currently,
all online casinos operate their servers outside the US. Most are
located in the Caribbean and Central American countries where online gambling
licenses are available. It is also legal to operated from Great
Britian. To make a long story short I suppose, it is legal to
gamble online.

| Q. Are online casinos fair and honest? |
| A. Generally speaking, yes. Legitimate casinos don't need to operate crooked
games to make a profit. Make sure you understand what software they
use. This is very important. These casinos' games are tested for
fairness. There's enough profit built-in with the house edge and
player mistakes. Most casinos have their payouts audited by some of the
biggest accounting firms in the world even. Audit reports are often
visible on their website. Be warned that there are a few dishonest
casinos out there. The most common complaint we hear from players is that some
online casinos are slow to pay out winnings. In a few cases,
casinos have not paid out at all. We do not advertise for any of these
types of casinos.If you have a problem with any online casino listed on our

card companies rethink their policies concerning online casinos.
