As of June 1, 2010, American gambling laws have changed. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) is now officially in effect. The UIGEA was actually drafted back in 2006 and has been hanging around as a bill. It was meant to pass into law back in December 2009, but the official date was delayed for six months to give lawmakers a chance to regulate the online gambling industry. This regulation never happened, and the bill has become a law.
