New Jersey is currently the largest market for regulated online gambling in the US. Over a dozen legal and licensed online casino sites and poker rooms compete for an overall market that is worth more than $225 million a year. There are a number of sportsbooks and online sports betting apps live in the state. Problem gambling is an urge to gamble continuously despite negative consequences or a desire to stop. Problem gambling is often defined by whether harm is experienced by the gambler or others, rather. A gambling addiction is a progressive addiction that can have many negative psychological, physical, and social repercussions. It is classed as an impulse-control disorder. It is included in the.
Now 80, Grey still has a photograph of himself leaping into the air to make the kind of ’jump pass’ that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has made when needed on his way to today’s Super Bowl.
You can bet on whether Mahomes’ first pass today against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be caught, fall incomplete or be intercepted. You can also bet on the color of the Gatorade that might be poured on the winning coach, whether the coin toss will be heads, that Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan will take less than 1 minute and 59 seconds to sing the national anthem, whether The Weeknd will show up with sunglasses at halftime, and which word poet Amanda Gorman will say first: ’hero,’ ’pandemic’ or ’super.’
Gambling on which team wins is just one of the countless bets you can place on the Super Bowl, which is expected to draw a record 7.6 million online bettors among the more than 23 million people wagering more than $4.3 billion, according to the American Gaming Association. Illinois and 24 other states, as well as the District of Columbia, now have legalized sports betting, and mobile wagering is responsible for 82% of bets placed during this pandemic.
’America is on a gambling binge. America has pretty much hit bottom,’ says Grey, who has been quarterbacking the anti-gambling faction for 30 years. As a Methodist minister in Galena fighting plans for a gambling riverboat in 1991, Grey got a referendum on the ballot and then an impressive victory with 81% of voters opposing the boat. Then, the politicians cleared the way for the Silver Eagle Casino, which sucked money away from the community until its riverboat went belly up in 1997. In his role as field director for the National Coalition Against Gambling in 2007, Tom Grey returned to Arlington Heights, where he was a star high school quarterback, to speak against bringing slot machines to Arlington Park. - Daily Herald file photo
An all-conference quarterback in high school, Grey doesn’t fold when the going gets tough. A graduate of Dartmouth College, Grey commanded a U.S. Army rifle company in Germany before spending part of 1965 and 1966 in Vietnam. After his service, he graduated from the Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston. As founder of the National Coalition Against Legalized Gambling, Grey attached a red, white and blue ’CasiNO’ button to the lapel of his Sunday best and traveled the nation, organizing anti-gambling efforts, speaking to newspaper editorial boards and taking it to the gambling industry on television’s ’60 Minutes’ and ’Frontline.’
That led to a grassroots group called the National Coalition Against Gambling Expansion, which had initial success keeping gambling out of many states.
’We held Nebraska for 25 years, and we just lost it,’ Grey says, noting Hawaii and Utah are the only states left without some state-sanctioned gambling.
Modifying their game plan along the way, Grey now is a senior adviser for the nonprofit Stop Predatory Gambling. Grey, who lives in Spokane, Washington, to be close to grandkids, sees similarities between this effort and the ’tobacco-free kids’ movement, which took a bite out of cigarette companies.
’At this point, they are after the kids. They did the NFL on Nickelodeon,’ Grey says, noting gambling advertisements are all over media and social media. Research shows that living within 10 miles of a casino doubles the odds of a person developing a gambling habit, and now, pretty much everyone has the ability to download a gambling app on their cellphone.
’Illinois is as bad as any state in the country,’ says Les Bernal, a former high school and college basketball coach who has been national director of Washington, D.C.-based Stop Predatory Gambling since 2008. He cites a 2019 GOBankingRates survey that found nearly 3 in 4 Illinois residents have less than $1,000 in savings, and almost half have no savings. Yet, gambling businesses and advertising target poorer areas, he says. As gambling has become ubiquitous across the nation, and many bettors have gone online, Les Bernal, national director of Stop Predatory Gambling, says the focus in on protecting young people and those who live in poorer neighborhoods. - Courtesy of StopPredatoryGambling.org
’Commercialized gambling is the complete opposite of wealth-building,’ Bernal says, noting that owners of gambling sites make the most money, with the state getting a portion in taxes and fees, and the consumer losing money. ’State-sanctioned gambling is a form of institutionalized racism. At its core, it’s a big con.’
The United Kingdom is considering banning gambling advertising and removing gambling sponsors from the jerseys of soccer teams in the wake of new studies showing how gambling can ruin the economic health of some families and lead to suicide.
’The more you participate, it’s a mathematical certainty you’re going to lose money,’ Bernal says.
Grey likes to point out that smart people don’t gamble. He once conducted an interview with billionaire Warren Buffett, available at stoppredatorygambling.org, in which Buffett ripped the idea of state-sanctioned gambling.
’There’s nothing getting developed. It’s a transfer of money,’ Buffet says of the gambling industry. ’I think the state ought to be trying to do things for its citizens, not do something to its citizens.’
Having common sense on his side gives Grey hope.
’This was a good fight, and I’m glad I’m still in it,’ says Grey, who also has fought racial injustice and compares the anti-gambling crusade with the ’good trouble’ that late Rep. John Lewis used to talk about.
’I think we still hold the winning hand,’ Grey says. ’The difficulty is staying in the game.’Gambling Law: An Overview
Gambling, though widespread in the United States, is subject to legislation at both the state and federal level that bans it from certain areas, limits the means and types of gambling, and otherwise regulates the activity.
Congress has used its power under the Commerce Clause to regulate interstate gambling, international gambling, and relations between the United States and Native American territories. For example, it has passed laws prohibiting the unauthorized transportation of lottery tickets between states, outlawing sports betting with certain exceptions, and regulating the extent to which gambling may exist on Native American land.
Each state determines what kind of gambling it allows within its borders, where the gambling can be located, and who may gamble. Each state has enacted different laws pertaining to these topics. The states also have differing legal gambling ages, with some states requiring the same minimum age for all types of gambling, while for others, it depends on the activity. For example, in New Jersey, an 18-year-old can buy a lottery ticket or bet on a horse race, but cannot enter a casino until age 21. Presumably, the age 21 restriction is due to the sale of alcohol in that location.
A standard strategy for avoiding laws that prohibit, constrain, or aggressively tax gambling is to locate the activity just outside the jurisdiction that enforces them, in a more ’gambling friendly’ legal environment. Gambling establishments often exist near state borders and on ships that cruise outside territorial waters. Gambling activity has also exploded in recent years in Native American territory. Internet-based gambling takes this strategy and extends it to a new level of penetration, for it threatens to bring gambling directly into homes and businesses in localities where a physical gambling establishment could not conduct the same activity.Internet GamblingFederal Regulation
In the 1990s, when the World Wide Web was growing rapidly in popularity, online gambling appeared to represent an end-run around government control and prohibition. A site operator needed only to establish the business in a friendly offshore jurisdiction such as the Bahamas and begin taking bets. Anyone with access to a web browser could find the site and place wagers by credit card. Confronted with this blatant challenge to American policies, the Department of Justice and Congress explored the applicability of current law and the desirability of new regulation for online gambling.
In exploring whether an offshore Internet gambling business taking bets from Americans violated federal law, attention was focused on the Wire Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1084 (2000). The operator of a wagering business is at risk of being fined and imprisoned under the Wire Act if the operator knowingly uses a ’wire communication facility’ to transmit information related to wagering on ’any sporting event or contest.’ 18 U.S.C. § 1084(a). An exception exists if that act is legal in both the source and destination locations of the transmission. § 1084(b). The Wire Act’s definition of “wire communication facility” appears to embrace the nation’s entire telecommunications infrastructure, and therefore probably applies to online gambling. See § 1081.
The Department of Justice maintains that, under the Wire Act, all Internet gambling by bettors in the United States is illegal. U.S. House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary Hearing on Establishing Consistent Enforcement Policies in the Context of Online Wagers, 110th Cong., Nov. 14, 2007 (testimony of Catherine Hanaway, U.S. Attorney (E.D. Mo.), Dept. of Justice). The Fifth Circuit disagreed, ruling that the Wire Act applies only to sports betting, not other types of gambling. In re MasterCard Int’l Inc., 313 F.3d 257 (5th Cir. 2002).
In 2006, Congress passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which made it illegal for wagering businesses to knowingly accept payment in connection with unlawful Internet gambling (though it does not itself make Internet gambling illegal). 109 Pub. L. 109-347, Title VIII (Oct. 13, 2006) (codified at 31 U.S.C. §§ 5301, 5361–67). It also authorizes the Federal Reserve System to create regulations that prohibit financial transaction providers (banks, credit card companies, etc.) from accepting those payments. See 31 U.S.C. § 5363(4). This Act, along with threats of prosecution under the Wire Act from the Department of Justice, has caused several Internet gambling businesses to withdraw from the U.S. market.
In response, House Representatives introduced multiple bills in 2007 to soften federal Internet gambling law. If passed, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act and the Internet Gambling Regulation and Tax Enforcement Act would license, regulate, and tax Internet gambling businesses rather than prohibit them from taking bets from the United States. Alternatively, the Skill Game Protection Act would clarify the Wire Act to exempt certain games such as poker and chess.State Regulation
In addition to federal measures, some states have enacted legislation to prohibit some types of Internet gambling. In 2006, Washington State amended its Code to make knowingly transmitting or receiving gambling information over the Internet a felony. See Wash. Rev. Code § 9.46.240 (2006). Other states with similar prohibitions have made it a misdemeanor instead. See e.g., 720 ILCS 5/28-1 (2007).
States have not been particularly active in enforcing these laws, possibly due to a conflict with the dormant Commerce Clause doctrine. That doctrine theorizes that state law applying to commerce outside the state’s borders is unconstitutional because that power lies with federal, not state, government. In particular, federal preemption has obstructed states’ attempts to regulate gambling activity on Indian reservations within state borders. See Missouri ex rel. Nixon v. Coeur D’Alene Tribe, 164 F.3d 1102 (8th Cir. 1999). The federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, 25 U.S.C. § 29 (2000), governs gambling activity on Indian reservations, but the extent to which it and other federal gambling laws preempt state action in the Internet arena is uncertain.Gamblingmenu of sourcesFederal MaterialU.S. Constitution and Federal Statutes
