What kind of gambling games do they play in the casinos?

Is gambling in the US legal?

  • I live in Virginia. I know there are casinos in Nevada, New Jersey and on Native American reservations. So I guess that gambling laws are state laws and not federal? What I'm most interested in though is not casino gambling or online gambling, but instead activities that friends engage in. For example, is it illegal for me to play cards for money at a friends house? Is it illegal to organize a Fantasy Football league with a buy in that pays out the winner(s). Is it illegal to participate in an NCAA bracket pool with a buy in? Strictly speaking, we do use the internet for the latter two, but not to transfer any money, only to set up the league or pool. I know it doesn't really matter if these activities are legal or not since they aren't enforced, and I don't care about morality issues of whether I'm breaking the law. What I'm concerned with is should I be 'careful' with such activities, like not declaring the fees/payout on a message board or sending email about poker games?

  • Answer:

    No, It is not illegal .....IF.... the house doesn't make any money. eg. If you have a $200 poker tourney and the house take 10% then it is illegal. If all the money gets paid back to the players then you are safe. Same goes for fantasy football and pools. Commissioner fees for fantasy football are also acceptable.
