=== United States === {{see also|Gambling in the United States#Sports betting}} Attempts to restrict operators of foreign gambling websites from accessing their domestic market resulted in a 2007 ruling against the US government by the [[World Trade Organization]].<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6511857.stm "WTO rules against US gaming ban"]. [[BBC News]]. 30 March 2007. Retrieved 1 September 2011.</ref> However, common online gambling laws in the United States still don't exist β it differs from state to state. All forms of online gambling are illegal within the states of [[Utah]] and [[Hawaii]], while the states of [[Delaware]], [[Pennsylvania]] and [[New Jersey]] took a different approach: almost all forms of online gambling are legal in these states. These are the only US states where online casino sites can be legally registered. It is important to mention that Native Americans have their own gambling legislation - the [[Indian Gaming Regulatory Act]] of 1988. However, they need their state's approval to be able to offer their services online.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Public Law 100-497-OCT. 17, 1988: An Act to regulate gaming on Indian lands |url=https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-102/pdf/STATUTE-102-Pg2467.pdf |access-date=4 September 2019 |website=Government Publishing Office [US]}}</ref> The Supreme Court overturned the federal ban on online gambling in 2018. However, while online gambling and casinos are legal, each state has its own rules. In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the legal bookmakers are DraftKings, FanDuel and Pointsbet. Mississippi, New Jersey, Delaware, Nevada and West Virginia are on the road to legalisation, but Nevada and New Jersey have already passed laws. Most analysts predict the trend towards legalization of online gambling will continue in more and more US states.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Projecting Online Casino Market Growth in 2022 and Beyond|url=https://gamblingnewsmagazine.com/online-casino-market-growth/|accessdate=2022-10-17|work=gamblingnewsmagazine.com}}</ref>
