Playing blackjack online has been illegal in the United States since 1990, due to the fact that it is considered a form of gambling. In 2006, however, the US Congress passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), which made it legal for US residents to participate in online blackjack.
The UIGEA is still in effect, and any player who participates in online blackjack in violation of US law may be subject to criminal prosecution.
Nevertheless, many people continue to play blackjack online illegally, because there is no official system for tracking their activity. In addition, many casinos operate in countries where online gambling is not illegal, and they are happy to take American players as customers.
Therefore, it is important for players to be aware of the lAWS in their country and to avoid participating in any form of gambling that is illegal in their jurisdiction.
