Internet Gaming Lawyer
The Internet offers exceptional opportunities for gaming operators to expand new or existing operations online, reaching a larger audience with fewer overhead costs. Indeed, Internet and intranet gambling represents the highest growth sector of the gaming industry. Financial opportunities have become increasingly available not only for gaming operators, but also for product distributors, software designers and licensers, game developers and Web hosters, as well.

What should you expect about Internet gaming law?
The general rule in the United States is that "skill-based" games and games with a free method of entry are legal, but games of chance, sports betting and virtual casinos are illegal. With the exception of the State of Nevada, only online horse racing is widely recognized as a legal form of i-gambling in the United States thus far. Gaming operations that feature prohibited gambling are almost strictly offshore and overseas propositions.
New challenges for entrepreneurs, regulators and industry lawyers continue to emerge, including:
- Controversies over the legality of online games and cash prizes
- Legal issues relating to handheld gaming devices, including cell phones and tablets
- Software piracy and copyright protection
- Licensing and distribution agreements, Internet intellectual property
