The United States Federal Government, in 2006, passed the "Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act." (It's worth noting that U.S. citizens repeatedly fought and defeated this move to interfere with their private lives. However, rather than obey the will of their constituents, legislators simply attached the legislation to a "port security" bill. In the wake of 9/11, though totally unrelated to "port security," the UIGEA became law.) This legislation has made it very difficult for U.S. citizens to play online casino games. Whether or not it is now actually "illegal" for U.S. citizens to play online casino games has been widely debated.
What hasn't been debated is whether or not online "horse racing / betting" is allowed. (The powerful horse-racing lobby was able to specifically exclude online horse betting from the UIGEA.) Unless you're in one of a handful of states that prohibit you from wagering on horses over the internet, you CAN easily (and legally) "bet the ponies" online. Perhaps the best known online horse betting service provider is Churchill Downs (where the Kentucky Derby is run.) Click the banner below to visit their site:
