Gambling legislation
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.[1] [2] However, each of its states has its own laws regarding the regulation or prohibition of gambling.[3]
