Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois
Processing internet gaming credit card deposits in us
Is it legal to process credit card deposits for internet casinos with US credit card processors in US banks. In the fall a federal judge ruled that internet casinos do not violate the wire act. This would only be for casino type games and not for any sports wagers, horse racing or any betting of this type whatsoever. There are current bills in the house and senate trying to outlaw internet casinos, but they are only in the proposed status right now.

No law that I am aware of bans credit card processing for internet casinos. Even if a law does get passed outlawing anything like this, it is unlikely it would be retroactively applied anyway.
