+<br>Navigating the incredibly confusing, patchwork legal landscape of global online gambling is a massive headache for operators and players alike.<br>
+<br>Some governments embrace the industry, heavily regulating and taxing it to generate massive streams of necessary state revenue.<br>
+The Highly Regulated European Market
+<br>In the UK, gambling is viewed as a normal, legitimate leisure activity, overseen strictly by the powerful UK Gambling Commission (UKGC).<br>
+<br>If a UK [casino](http://34.17.182.140/gregorio730238/gregorio2012/wiki/%CE%96%CF%89%CE%BD%CF%84%CE%B1%CE%BD%CE%AC-%CE%A4%CE%B7%CE%BB%CE%B5%CF%80%CE%B1%CE%B9%CF%87%CE%BD%CE%AF%CE%B4%CE%B9%CE%B1-%28Live-Game-Shows%29:-%CE%97-%CE%BD%CE%AD%CE%B1-%CE%B5%CF%80%CE%BF%CF%87%CE%AE-%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%82-%CE%B4%CE%B9%CE%B1%CF%83%CE%BA%CE%AD%CE%B4%CE%B1%CF%83%CE%B7%CF%82) refuses to pay a legitimate winner, the government will ruthlessly fine the operator millions or revoke their license entirely.<br>

+The State-by-State Patchwork in the US
+<br>For decades, the United States maintained a strict federal ban on almost all forms of online casino gaming and sports betting.<br>
+<br>While online sports betting has swept rapidly across the country, full online casinos are only legal in a small handful of states.<br>
+The Grey Markets and Offshore Casinos
+<br>Because the government refuses to regulate them, these offshore casinos operate out of remote jurisdictions like Curacao or Costa Rica.<br>
+<br>If a casino based in Costa Rica decides to steal your $10,000 jackpot, your local government cannot intervene to help you.<br>
