The United States of America has had a rocky history in regards to gambling legislation. Gambling is legal under federal law, however each state has regulations that differ.

USA Gambling Acts

The Federal Wire Act of 1961 made interstate wagering on sports illegal and has been critized for many years. In 2006 the US Government introduced the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA). This outlawed financial transactions relating to gambling. Many sportsbooks stopped servicing the USA market after this, while others have stuck around and offer creative banking methods, mainly Bitcoin.

Over the last few years the USA has started to see the momentum & potential of the sports betting industry and has moved to legalizing it. Each state varies in their stance on sports betting, the most friendly states are currently Nevada and New Jersey.
