Online gambling is any form of gambling conducted over the internet. This includes sports betting, casinos and virtual poker. This is the oldest form of gambling to be conducted over the internet and it continues to gain popularity. The first online gambling site opened to the public, was ticketing for the world’s most famous lottery, the Lotto Max, in October 1994.

Today there are literally hundreds of online gambling sites available to players all over the world. A player does not have to go to Las Vegas, Atlantic City or Monte Carlo to enjoy a gamble. There are many sites offer games all over the world. These are basically companies that allow the individual to log on and place a bet on whether they think they will win, place a wager and if they win, get their winnings credited to their account. These sites offer many different variations of games including Roulette, Baccarat, Keno, Sports Betting, Online Slots, Online Handicapping and Poker.

One of the first problems with online gambling transactions is that the legal requirements for conducting business in certain states and locations are very different from others. For instance, some states have very tough regulations that require the person or company providing the gambling services to obtain a license from the government in that state. While other states simply have a prohibition against gambling transactions within the state. There are even some states that prohibit anyone not licensed by the state from participating in online gambling transactions.
