Online gambling became part of American culture
despite the statutory prohibitions.
Every day hundreds of players the State of Nevada (USA) violate the law and playing in online casinos, many of them do not even suspect that one of committing serious offences. For many Americans interactive games are becoming a significant source of income, many called the game in the casino work concurrently. Interview taken from the players to turn gambling into a profession, showed that the main advantages of online games – comfort, safety, a big game speed, the ability to simultaneously play with a few tables, etc. Some of those interviewed earn game players from 50 to 150 dollars an hour, monthly revenues from the game in an interactive poker could reach 30 000 dollars. Naturally, if such wages simply does not make sense to stay somewhere in the service in the office, and therefore in Nevada is scheduled to career choices is a clear trend of professional players. Among the players participating in the survey on-line majority – land-based casino workers, is one of the most unexpected categories.
Despite the popularity of online gambling in the state with the largest gambling turnover, Nevada – one of the few states where prohibited, and play online gambling and offer services online, that is prohibition applies to operators and players, with interactive poker is no exception. This law was passed in 1997. Nevada Gaming Board has not yet taken any action against the offenders, expecting changes in federal law, and he has no direct authority to prosecute under the law of players, this must be to allow the federal government. But even having received such permission, the Council will not be able to implement the ban – for that would have raided the homes of thousands of players and arrest them for playing on-line, this would require an entire virtual army. To take any action against the providers of gambling services Council also can not, because all they are outside the jurisdiction of the country, mostly in small-scale offshore States where this business legalized and well-controlled.
It turns out that the country has a law banning online games, but to translate it into American law enforcement agencies can not.
