Is it legal to bet on which answer the community will choose as best answer?

Question

I wondered if it is legal to bet on which answer the community will choose as best answer.

Answer 1

Not legal or illegal, but alegal. Currently, the Internet basically is like outer space, where just about anything goes except child pornography. And even then, they don't prosecute for using the Internet for p**n, but they have to physically confiscate your computer and find you with possession of it.

Imho, the reason is that you don't actually do the act physically at a real location so the legal requirements are lacking.

Answer 2

ummm...do you have anything better to do or better to bet on??? who really cares if its legal or not. i doubt there are any laws wasted on a stupid question like this and what wil lhappen??? oohh maybe the cops are monitoring your life and computer and will bash down your door at 2 in the morning and arrest you!!  Really. don't worry, no ones watching or cares BET AWAY!!!!

Answer 4

If you need to gamble on answers on YA!, then you have an addiction that really needs addressing!

Answer 5

Depends on the gambling laws in your home state/country.  YA! does not dictate what a person does in the privacy of his/her own space, but I would think one as intelligent as you could find better things to do with your time, luv...
