The gambling industry is a liquid
market- changes are taking places all time, and it can be difficult
to keep up with all the alterations. The 2006 UIGEA has damaged the
American market, and caused a significant ruckus in the global field
of play. Prices are plunging, companies are shutting down
permanently, or excluding themselves from the U.S. market. Though
all these huge elements have been negatively affected, the average
American player may still play their games; the loopholes are so
large that some more-oblivious players may not even be aware that
online gambling is illegal in the U.S. Summarily, players can still
play, so why is gambling online illegal?
