The Wire Wager Act
The Wire Wager Act, in its most basic sense, prohibits the use of a wire transmission to foster a gambling pursuit. What does this mean? Your guess is as good as mine, and as good as the people who wrote the legislation. Some lawyers argue that what this act means is that any interstate use of the internet that is related to placing or receiving bets is illegal. However, other lawyers believe that this cannot be applied to internet betting due to both the extensive use of wireless internet services and also, due to some vagary in the language, the act may only apply to sports event betting and not other types of betting. Most importantly, the specific language of the Wire Wager Act says that it applies only to those participating in the business of betting or wagering. That limits its impact to only sportsbooks and casinos and means that it can in no way be used against the actual bettor.
April 2005: Two important rulings are handed down regarding online sports betting. Chris Costigan, sums them up as follows:
"Firstly, the World Trade Organization upheld its decision in favor of Antigua, a tiny island nation that claimed the United States stymied its lucrative online gambling industry. Antigua contended that many online gambling operators left its jurisdiction as a direct result of the United States crackdown on operators and advertising venues.
A more critical ruling involved the United Kingdom, which now allows gambling companies to take bets online from the UK. While England's stance on bookmaking is quite opposite of the United States, internet sports betting shops and online casinos were forced to operate offshore on nearby islands such as Gibraltar and the Isle of Man. The United Kingdom decision is viewed as a nod of approval by an industrial nation paving the way for internet gambling to thrive in a fully regulated environment, and the U.S. is most likely to recognize and respect its position."
