When Will The USA Legalize Online Bingo?

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
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.
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.
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.
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.

ACR POKER INJECTS DAILY DOSE OF THRILL INTO TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE WITH LAUNCH OF DAILY MYSTERY BOUNTY EVENTS

Monster top bounty of 10% of the total prize pool up for grabs starting this weekend
ACR Poker today announced the addition of Daily Mystery Bounty events to its tournament lineup starting this Sunday, August 3rd, delivering unmatched entertainment, thrilling action, and big wins to the tables.
Daily Mystery Bounty tournaments turn traditional bounty formats on their head. Once players are in the money, instead of receiving a fixed reward for eliminating an opponent, players receive a Mystery Bounty Chest revealing a mystery reward, with the top bounty prize being 10% of the total prize pool.
âMystery Bounties are just pure fun,â said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. âYou never know what youâre going to get when you knock someone out, it could be some random treasure or a monster bounty that flips your whole tournament. With same-day events, fast action and bounty madness on your daily calendar, it keeps the adrenaline going and makes every hand way more exciting.â
The Daily Mystery Bounty schedule features a range of tourneys and buy-ins, with highlights including the $250K GTD Sunday Funday ($215 buy-in), the $150K GTD Major Mash Up ($66 buy-in), and the $100K GTD Moormanâs Mayhem ($630 buy-in). Starting this Sunday, players can log into the ACR Poker client, open the Tournaments tab, and find the full lineup of Daily Mystery Bounty events in the regular schedule under upcoming events.
And donât forget, the Mystery Bounty madness continues in ACR Pokerâs massive Dual Venom tournaments taking place from Sunday, August 10th to Tuesday, August 26th. Not only are the $2,650 buy-in tourneys offering huge guarantees of $8 million in the NHL event and $2 million in the PLO event, but there are massive bounties on the table for those who knock out their competitors.
In the Venom NLH, eliminating just one opponent could earn a player the top bounty prize of $500,000. While in the Venom PLO, which ties ACR Pokerâs biggest Omaha tourney ever, thereâs a juicy $200,000 bounty for the taking. And thatâs not all, every knockout in both tourneys earns players a minimum bounty of at least $5,000.

AGA Research Reveals Consumers Know Sweepstakes Casinos are Gambling

As gaming regulators, state Attorneys General, and state legislatures continue to scrutinize the business practices of online âsweepstakesâ casinos, new research shows that consumers overwhelmingly use these platforms to gamble â and that sweepstakes operators are heavily targeting players in key states. By exploiting loopholes in the law, these operations undermine the integrity of the legal, regulated gaming marketplace.
According to Sensor Tower data compiled by the American Gaming Association (AGA), half of all online, real-money casino advertisements seen by consumers in early 2025 promoted offshore âsweepstakesâ casinos. The data shows these unregulated operators concentrate their advertising in populous states.
âThese operators present themselves like legal, regulated platforms â but they operate outside the law and regulation. There are few if any responsible gaming tools, no regulatory oversight, and no consumer protections. Itâs a dangerous subterfuge that puts players at real risk,â said AGA Vice President of Government Relations, Tres York.
Despite operating outside the regulated gaming market, âsweepstakesâ casinos are widely perceived by players as gambling platforms, with 68% of users saying their primary reason for playing is to win real money. This confusion is no accident â many of these sites mimic the look, feel, and language of legal operators, blurring the line for consumers and reinforcing the need for clearer enforcement and public education.
Key findings include:
⢠90% of sweepstakes casino users consider the activity to be gambling.
⢠69% describe sweepstakes casinos as places to wager real money.
⢠80% of sweepstakes players spend monthly, and nearly half spend weekly, without the safety nets offered by regulated operators.
The number of monthly sweepstakes casino players is twice as high in states lacking sweepstakes prohibitions.
âSweepstakesâ casinos aggressively market on popular digital platforms throughout the country. Legal, regulated gaming operators, by contrast, advertise responsibly in legal states where consumer protections and regulatory oversight are in place.
âThe data is clear. Consumers see right through the âsweepstakesâ casino facade and theyâre calling it what it is: gambling. We look forward to policymakers continuing to enforce their laws and create clarity through new policy measures to protect their residents,â added York.
