'Gaming law' can be described as the set of rules and regulations that apply to the gaming or
gambling industry. Gaming law is not exactly a branch of
law in the traditional sense but rather a transversal gathering of a range of legal topics related to gaming which encompasses matters normally included in various branches of law, including
constitutional law,
administrative law,
tax law,
company law,
contract law and
criminal law.
'Illegal gambling' is a Federal crime if done as a business.
[1] [2] However, each of the
United States has its own laws regarding the regulation or prohibition of gambling.
