Where are Online Casinos and Sportsbooks located?
US regulations on online gambling are still debated, but in a nutshell, they’re still largely prohibitive to the gaming operator. So, most Online Casinos & Sportsbooks are located outside the US, generally in the Caribbean, Gibraltar and the Cook Islands. (For those of you wondering where that geographically puts your money, the Caribbean is southeast of Florida, Gibraltar is a peninsula in Spain, and the Cook Islands are in the Pacific Ocean near Tahiti and Fiji). Many of these companies are actually operated from the US, and simply house their servers offshore. These countries welcome gaming operators who contribute to the economy by creating jobs and paying large sums in taxes and license fees. More FAQs…
