Each country has its own laws as to the legality of online casinos- it is up to you to be aware if you are breaking the law when you play.

Any casino seeking to do honest business must be licensed within the jurisdiction where they have their base of operations. What this means is, if the company has offices and the player servers in a particular spot, they need to abide by that spot’s rules and regulations.

As there are only a relatively small number of places that provide friendly legislation to these companies, there is a glut of gambling outfits in places like the Isle of Man, Costa Rica, Antigua, Gibraltar, Barbuda, Malta and Curacao, and even an Indian reservation in Canada (Kahnawake.) If you find an online casino that is not based in one of those places, keep a sharp eye out, as there is a chance the local government is not paying attention to what the company is doing.
