sports book
The first online Sportsbook (name withheld) went live via the internet on august 18, 1995. They offered 18 casino games and the option to play the National Indian Lottery.
This Sportsbook had to be registered and operate outside the United States, for US laws did not permit this type of online wagering at that time.
When they opened, this company excelled in customer service and provided outstanding help to the masses of excited gambling fans. Customer concerns and inquiries were handled toll-free via satellite lines. This made service calls pleasant, clear and free. Furthermore, customer security was a top priority and as they shined in this field, customer satisfaction and return quickly grew high.
To this day, the United States government doesn't tolerate online Sportsbook as well as the rest if the world including most European countries.
Although the US does not have specific rules or laws dealing directly with online gambling, the Federal Wire Act prohibits the electronic transmission of sports betting in United States.
Today, Sportsbook betting is only legal in two states: Nevada and Oregon. Oregon offers "Sports Action" (a state lottery) and bets are made on National Football League games. Proceeds from this lottery support college athletics throughout the Oregon University System.
Legal or not, the wagering industry is still a multi billion dollar industry in the States alone and it continues to increase tremendously thanks to the growing popularity of the internet.
No one knows when US regulations will finally adopt online gambling. Therefore people continue to look towards Central America and Europe where gambling is legal (and regulated in their operating countries) to setup online wagering businesses. As the Internet has no frontiers anyone around of the world is free to access and wager through the site of their choice.
