When Will The USA Legalize Online Bingo?

Published

on

Play-to-earn gaming adoption to nearly double in the US

 

The USA has the most stringent gambling laws in the world. If you are using any US-based online casino site, you must know that gambling is not legal all through the United States. Currently, three US States – Nevada, Delaware, and New Jersey, are the only locations where you can play gambling games online for real money, including sports betting games.

Compared to the UK, the US has a tiny proportion of residents interested in playing bingo. Moreover, except for New Jersey, no other US state provides an online bingo hall. So, if you are interested in playing an online bingo game, you need to do it at an offshore platform.

BingoSites.net can provide you with all the relevant information regarding the UK regulated bingo sites. In it, you can find the latest bingo sites from the top providers like Dragonfish and Jumpman.

Is online bingo considered gambling in the US, and when it’s legalized?

To answer it, let’s look at how the USA regulates online gambling, and, specifically, online bingo.

The legislation and state makeup of the United States is quite complicated as both federal and State governments have the law-making authority. Even if the federal-state law system permits each State to formulate its laws and regulations, federal laws tend to take premise over it. When it comes to bingo as a game, States consider it a form of gambling in a social setting.

Here are the federal laws applicable to online gambling in the US

  • The Wire Act 1961

It’s an old act formulated way before online bingo’s birth to stop gambling activities at organized events. It is still considered applicable due to the inclusion of the words – ‘wire communication.’

So, technically, when you apply those exact words to online gambling, it translates to ‘the internet’ and restricts online bingo games.

  • The Wire Act Overhaul 2011

In 2011, the US Department of Justice declared application of the act restricted only to sports contests or events and then decriminalized certain types of gambling, including online bingo.

Now, you can access interactive bingo games on different US-based casinos. But still, many gamblers face confusion whether their State criminalizes it or not.

  • Interstate Transportation of Wager Paraphernalia Act 1961

It prohibits the transfer of betting information via the internet, post, or other forms of interstate transportation in the United States. However, under this act, playing bingo is not considered gambling.

  • Unlawful Internet Gambling Act (UIGEA)

It targets the ‘big-fish’ organisations, like companies that supply online gambling games, internet gambling providers, and companies that facilitate gambling payments to prevent fraud and money laundering activities.

It considers bingo as a gambling activity, but if you use prepaid digital cards or e-wallets to fund your online bingo account, it is not illegal.

Conclusion

So, the US legalizing online bingo depends on the State how it interprets the gambling laws. Therefore, when you come across a gambling site offering online bingo games, check whether it’s licensed by the US recognised State licensing commissions –

  • New Jersey Casino Control Commission

  • Nevada Gaming Commission

Avoid playing online bingo games on sites recognised by other organisations like the Government of Curacao and Antigua Directorate of Offshore Gambling. If you play, you will have no protection legally in the US when something goes wrong.

However, it’s best to stick to offshore platforms like UK regulated bingo sites and use prepaid digital cards or e-wallets to fund your bingo account to enjoy online bingo games in the US.

BETER names Juliana Querino as LatAm Business Development Manager

 

Award-winning fast-betting content provider strengthens its position in the region with the latest hire

BETER, the in-demand provider of fast-betting content, data, and live streaming for esports and sports, has strengthened its team with the appointment of Juliana Querino as LatAm Business Development Manager.

Juliana, a seasoned business development specialist based in Brazil, has extensive experience in the Latin American iGaming industry. She has previously held various business development positions at Better Collective, Endorphina, Salsa Technology, and other companies. Her expertise was recognized by the G&M News platform, which included her in its Top 5 Women in the Industry 2024 list—highlighting women making significant contributions to the growth of iGaming in the region.

In her new role at BETER, she will drive the company’s expansion across Latin America, forging new partnerships with regional operators and aggregators, particularly in Brazil, where demand for BETER’s content continues to grow.

She will also drive BETER into new LatAm markets where the provider does not currently have a presence while managing relationships with existing partners to ensure they get the most out of the provider’s next-gen content offering.

Chuck Robinson, Chief Revenue Officer at BETER, said: “Latin America is a fast-moving market with opportunities opening up all the time. To capitalize on these, we need an exceptional specialist, and in Juliana, we have found exactly that. Her expertise and deep market knowledge make her a valuable addition to our team.

“We are already experiencing strong demand for our fast-betting products and solutions across the region. With Juliana on board, we can further identify key operators that would benefit from partnering with us, driving even greater growth.

“I’m delighted to welcome Juliana to the BETER team.”

Juliana Querino commented: “Fast-betting content has become essential for operators in Latin America and beyond, and I’m thrilled to join BETER in expanding awareness of its award-winning portfolio.
