10 Reasons Online Poker Should be Legal
Just imagine that it is a Friday night and you are getting ready to head out for a night on the town with your friends. You worked hard all week, and now it is your time to kick back and relax with good company. The first stop on your nighttime trek? The casino, of course! What a better way to spend the evening than walking around the casino, having dinner and a glass of wine in a nice, sit down restaurant, and then hitting the slot machines and poker tables with your friends
to try out your luck.When it comes to gambling, there are many State-approved lottery systems, as well as approved casinos that operate in many locations throughout the United States. It is a huge business that generates more than $240 billion dollars each year! But what about online gambling?
Online gambling is the only area of the entire gambling industry that is in limbo with the Federal government. In 2011, the Federal government shut down several major online sites, and since then, there has been a lot of dialogue about the future of internet gambling. More recently, however, they decided that individual states can opt to license online gambling sites, making these sites accessible for the people that live in the state. Such states include Nevada and New Jersey, but certainly not all states. Also, what about online gambling as a whole? If you can spend your Friday night at a casino or go to your local gas station and pay to play a scratch off game, shouldn’t you be allowed to hop on your computer and try your luck at an online game of poker? Probably. So, here are ten reasons why online poker should be legal.
