Welcome to America’s Policy: a Blog About Gambling Regulations

Being a casino fan can be tough! Sure, there are good reasons for restricting gambling – addiction can be a bitch, believe me on that! However, the legislation is getting more and more convoluted, which makes life harder for those that consider gambling simply a hobby and know how to control themselves. Things are especially complicated here in the USA, as they differ greatly from state to state! Punters are not so heavily affected, but casino-goers might be royally screwed if they end up in the wrong state!

Well, rest assured! If you are confused by the texts you’ve found online, there’s no need to feel stressed – things can be a little overwhelming, but I’ve been around the US for 3 straight years now, and you get used quite quickly.

American casinos are quite different from British ones – even some of the games are not alike (looking at you, roulette!). Many casinos lie outside of city limits, but the road trips to them can actually be quite fun. However, don’t get me going on the situation with online gambling – it is dire! In fact, we’ll start from there in our trip through America’s gambling policy – and hopefully, we’ll manage to give you a clearer picture of the situation here!
