Gaming law

Gaming law

Gaming law can be described as the set of rules and regulations that apply to the gaming or gambling industry. Gaming law is not exactly a branch of law in the traditional sense but rather a transversal gathering of a range of legal topics related to gaming which encompasses matters normally included in various branches of law, including constitutional law, administrative law, tax law, company law, contract law and criminal law.

In the United States, illegal gambling is a Federal crime if done as a business. [UnitedStatesCode|18|1955] [ [http://www.lectlaw.com/def/i002.htm Electric Law Library] ] However, each of the United States has its own laws regarding the regulation or prohibition of gambling.
