Online gambling is a fantastic thing that allows you to enjoy gambling from the comfort of your home — provided that the home isn’t in America. Now, this may sound like a bad joke, but unfortunately, it’s true. I’ve had the opportunity to meet many Americans who rushed to the haven of offshore casinos after the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was passed in 2006. It would be a serious understatement to say they were angry; they were bitterly disappointed and furious about the state of things related to online gambling in their homeland. However, my dear American friends, there are still states that offer legalized online casinos where you can gamble for money. If you want to know what states allow online gambling and what kind of games you can find at their online casinos, keep on reading.
Recently, I was at a casino. Although I spend a lot of time playing online casino games, such as slots or poker, there were a few games I did not know how to play.

Now, I will explain what I found there so that I can help you learn how to play the most popular games as well!
Have you ever really wondered what happens behind the screen while you play online slots? I know that all the lights and different animations are amusing to almost everybody, but what’s really going on in the background? What about the parts of online slot games we don’t get to see?

Who knows, it might just help you win better once you have it all figured out.
Reporting your gambling winnings and losses can sound complex, but it is actually not too hard a process if you are just a casual gambler and not a casino! You can report your legally earned money, including winnings from lotteries, raffles, horse races, and casinos, among others, on your form 1040. These winnings get reported with the rest of your taxable income for the previous tax year. You must be sure to show your wins and losses by keeping good books though. This is very important in order to establish credibility to the IRS! (more…)
The Bible does not directly discuss gambling, however, it does mention several issues that surround gambling and make it up. However, given the state of modern gambling, the issues mentioned are not as much a factor as they once were. Gambling then was not institutionalized as it is now, but rather was between several people on a personal level. That measure of greed is not present in modern gambling and so we can only look at what was said in the Bible as a reference for modern gambling, not as a codified set of laws.

Luck would be considered its own force rather than a generalized sense of good or bad outcomes, and so back then people were drawn to replace God’s grace with wanting the favor of Luck as a power in and of itself.

In most cases within the United States, online gambling ages correspond to the same age you must be in order to gamble at regular casinos.
