Online Gambling Illegal in Washington
Online gambling may still be in a legal grey area in some areas of the U.S. However, in the State of Washington the law is very clear about online gambling – it is simply illegal there. The anti-internet betting legislation was passed by State officials on June 7, and there have been no convictions to date. And even though there was no illegal activity yet, legal analysts are still giving a warning to those Washingtonians who participate in online gambling. The State Gambling Commission promised in a recent newsletter that they would not be chasing the online gamblers themselves, but the online gambling sites operators in Washington.
In this promise to not prosecute individual online gambling players, the State Gambling Commission also warned that U.S. players will still be held accountable for participating in online gambling of any kind, whether that be through online casinos or sportsbooks. The new law particularly considers the activity an illegal one equal to a crime. The Commission warned that if in confiscated records of an online gambling site will be found an individual's name, that individual will be warned by an official letter. If the same individual's name shows up again at other online gambling sites, charges could be made.
The online gambling companies that were caught, were given a restraining order that required them to take everything down from their websites except for a message on the homepage that said it was a violation of U.S. law to transmit bets from the U.S. to the online gambling websites, and that players should call a 1-800 number to obtain a refund on their account.
