About Online Gambling
People everywhere love to gamble. Every day, all over the world, millions of
people from all different walks of life are hard at play, furiously counting and
stacking their chips, throwing the dice, and dropping coins into slots. It's almost a universal vice whose appeal has spread like a brush fire.
In the United States alone, for example, the past 20 years has seen an unprecedented increase in both the popularity and social acceptance of gambling as a form of entertainment. What was once considered akin to the Devil's work - completely banned in all but two states - has now exploded to include 48 states and generate revenues in excess of $60 billion a year, a staggering sum that's greater than all of the money generated from spectator sports, theme parks, cruise ships and recorded music combined.
