Online Gambling Laws USA

US online gambling law operates at the state level, not federally. There is no single federal law that prohibits online casino gambling. Individual states have the authority to legalise, regulate, and licence online casino operations within their borders. As of 2026, six states have active regulated online casino markets. Federal statutes (UIGEA, Wire Act) restrict certain interstate and financial activities but do not prohibit state-licensed online gambling within regulated states.
