Many countries consider online gaming for real money to be perfectly legal. You can play for real or fun money with absolutely no worry or concern about whether you’re breaking the law.

Some countries, however, consider playing for real money to be illegal. You should always check to ensure whether or not the country you live in considers online gaming to be illegal, as some countries do.

In light of the US and other countries moving to bar their citizens from gambling online, many casinos have made their policies much more clear and transparent, about exactly who is allowed to play, based on the local laws of their country. In many instances the casinos actually ban you from even joining the site if you live in a country where online gambling is restricted, so the fact that you can even log on and play usually means that it’s legal for you to gamble online.
