It can include betting on sports, lottery, and other games of chance.<\/p>\n<p>Internet gambling has become popular. The number of websites offering this form of gambling rose from about fifteen in 1996 to more than two hundred in 1997. In 1998, revenue from internet gambling reached $830 million. However, the Department of Justice maintains that all forms of internet gambling are illegal.<\/p>\n<p>While the Department of Justice has not stated a definitive opinion on whether internet gambling causes problems, a small study shows that 16.4% of online gamblers were considered to be problem gamblers.<\/p>\n<p>Many people who play online games report that it is easier to access money than if they were to travel to a land-based casino. For example, if they have a PayPal account, they can deposit funds into an online gambling site and withdraw them.<\/p>\n<p>Prepaid cards are also useful for budgeting and controlling gambling spending. However, some online gambling sites do not accept pre-paid cards.<\/p>\n<p>There is a growing number of states that allow residents to gamble online. Although some of these states have limited online gambling offerings, many others have placed robust regulations. These regulations are intended to protect consumers and ensure that the gambling sites they select operate legally.<\/p>\n<p>State-run operations are also important because they help to alleviate the burden on taxpayers. These operations generate tax revenues and provide jobs for American citizens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Online gambling refers to the use of a computer or other electronic device to place bets.
