Legal Issues in Online Gambling, from a Real Money Player's Point-of-View:

What makes it legal or illegal depends on the laws where the player resides (lives). Usually, this legal information should be available from one of the following sources:

- Your local government office by calling or emailing them.

- Your local big newspaper company by calling or emailing them. Any new law that has just been created must be made popular, by the press, in your country, to keep citizens aware that they are following or breaking laws.

- The internet, by searching for: "gambling law in your country here.

- Your biggest local public library.

In the United States of America, gambling is illegal only when making a deposit using the Microgaming software, while residing in these states: Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin. Any other scenario, for real money players residing in the US, is legal to do.

The US Congress is trying to pass a law that will regulate the online gambling industry. The reason why it hasn't been finalized is because it has received the required amount of support from congresspeople.

All other legal issues, not mentioned here, can be guessed upon, using common sense. Things like getting your money back, after losing, should be treated just like doing business with any other company.
