IS ONLINE GAMBLING ILLEGAL IN OUR COUNTRY?

Many people think that gambling is illegal, and people who play online gambling if caught, will go directly to jail and will have to pay a heavy amount. If you are playing online gambling, not only will you have to pay a hefty amount, but you will also have to spend time in jail for all the wrongdoings you have done by playing online. Many people think that only online casinos are illegal, while land-based casinos are legal because the government license them.

All of this is just a rumor and a misconception that has spread throughout society. Neither online gambling nor land-based gambling is illegal. Instead, gambling has been done in our world for thousands of years. Neither the government nor the police will catch you if you gamble because it’s your decision. You can either stay away from gambling or even win millions of dollars from gambling; no one can blame you for doing something illegal. Even if you lost everything you have, you can't just go to the police and ask the casinos to return your money. The reason behind that is you decided to bet everything you had on a gamble. 

It never is and would be illegal to gamble in neither land-based casinos nor on online platforms. 

However, remember the place you live because many countries and cities around the world don't allow their users to gamble, and neither allows a person to provide gambling services to others. This happens because many higher authorities believe gambling to be very risky, which it is, and therefore if you are caught playing online gambling, you would face legal consequences.

Always remember to check the place where you live if gambling is legal or not. If gambling is illegal in your city or country, then whether it is online gambling or offline gambling, you can go to jail if you gambled.

Even if online gambling is legal in your country, don't forget to check the online casino you are using. Because different countries ban some sites because of many reasons. Most of the time, the online casino sites which are not in the country are banned so that people who live here only gamble in their country so that the money remains within the country. Sometimes, if there is a border dispute between two countries, one of the countries bans the online casinos of the enemy’s country so that their source of income decreases. Suppose you are playing an online casino in New Zealand that is restricted in your country. In that case, it is always better to delete the id as soon as possible because if you get caught, chances are you would face legal consequences that could seriously harm you.
