When it comes to American gambling laws, the regulations have become a little blurred. Some aspects have not evolved much, such as the government defining gambling as a practice where an individual has to pay some type of monetary incentive in order to participate. There are a few areas that have changed a bit due to many gambling platforms offer digital currencies as rewards now, so it is up to lawmakers to evolve with current times, but many areas still have a lot of unmarked territory that need to be addressed.
Key Takeaways:

- With the digital age accepting cryptocurrency as a form of incentives, the gambling laws have had to evolve somewhat as well.
