Question

Is it legal to gamble online in Arizona?

Answer 1

It's not illegal to bet online with an online gaming site! There is NO federal law that makes the act of wagering online illegal. The only federal law that addresses gambling is the wire act from the 1960's which makes it illegal to place wagers via the telephone. The US government passed a port security law and tacked on provisions (UIGEA) that make it illegal for BANKS, not players, to fund or accept payment from gaming sources. The only problem (for the govt) is that there are dozens of third party methods available for funding and no way to trace ACH credits. In other words, the new provisions are only for show and the end result is a waste of ink. I still use my VISA check card and e-check on my favorite sites. Online gaming will be impossible to completely eliminate from the US. The best they can do is make it inconvenient. Eventually I see the industry being regulated and taxed...heavily!

The only states with laws directed towards online wagering are Michigan, Illinois, Louisiana, Oregon, Wisconsin, Washington, Indiana, Nevada, New York, New Jersey and South Dakota. Although these states do have specific laws pertaining to online gaming, there has not been any charges laid.

Some sites have decided, on their own, to no longer accept American players. These are the publicly traded companies and most have returned to private ownership. There are still many highly reputable sites that welcome and cater to American clients.

I have wagered online for years and make good money betting on sports and playing poker. You can get free poker tips from the pros, articles, free daily sports picks, betting tips, sports betting stats and reviews of only highly reputable gaming sites at http://GamblingReviewsSite.com

The recommended sites all offer top customer service, security, and fast/free payouts. They also cater to American clients with great bonuses, e-check deposits, and other promotions.

Answer 2

I don't believe it is legal to gamble online in any state anymore.  In September 2006, the federal government passed the Internet Gaming bill (which was added to the Port Security bill), and it changed the whole gambling world as we once knew it.

However, if you are talking about playing poker or blackjack online in a legal manner, then you might want to try http://www.clububt.com which is legal based on sweepstakes laws and is legal in Arizona ( I checked for you.)  If you register and enter this code WEC97XUK, it will give you two free weeks on their site.   If you decide to sign up for a paid membership, then I think you can actually collect on the prizes.  I have a paid membership there and I've won real cash there and they do pay.

Online gambling is illegal in the US.

This is not a state issue--the feds are the ones who outlawed it.  The only legal gambling is in a casino, and that varies by state.
