iGaming expansion promises to lead to a proliferation of gaming across the states. The question is not if, but rather how online gaming will be legalized in the United States (source infra)
Global Connection - May 2013: iGaming Update | Snell & Wilmer L.L.P. - JDSupra: "The Obama Administration's 20 September 2011 opinion, made public on 23 December 2011, has now created a similar uncertainty in the realm of online gaming. The Department of Justice reversed its long-held position regarding the Wire Act of 1962. In a new opinion, the Executive Branch concluded that the Wire Act applies only to sport-related gambling activities in interstate and foreign commerce. Many have now taken the view that virtually all federal barriers to internet gaming have been removed. The reach of the DOJ's new position, however, remains unclear. Regardless, in this brave new world without a clear federal roadblock, iGaming expansion in the United States will occur in one of two ways: (1) patchwork, state-by-state laws, or (2) a federal 'opt-in' framework."
