The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act and Sweepstakes Casinos

December 17

Review Federal and State laws on illegal gambling and lotteries, focusing on key compliance elements.

The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act prohibits gambling over the Internet when such gambling would be unlawful under any Federal or State Law. This program will explore the Federal and State laws covering illegal gambling and lotteries, specifically identifying the key aspects needed to avoid these laws. The interplay of these laws will be specifically examined against the backdrop of sweepstakes casinos, which often provide a basis for online sports betting. The topic will examine the aspects of sweepstakes casinos to consider whether they avoid or violate the UIGEA and state gambling or lottery laws.
