In July 2006, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to stop Americans from gambling on the Internet. The Senate must now decide whether to enact the ban into law.
For many years the U.S. Justice Department has forbidden online gambling.
In Europe (notably Britain) and the Caribbean (notably Antigua and Costa Rica) Web betting is legal.
Yet Americans bet almost US$150 billion over the Internet in 2005, about half of the world's total. While the Wire Act of 1961 outlaws betting over phone lines, U.S. law is almost impossible to enforce against website operators who live outside of America.
