I am writing a college report on the online gambling industry. It is a lengthy “Analytical” report.
I am looking for places that might state how much they make ect, ect.
Please, don’t tell me Google or something like that. You don’t have to be a smart ***.
Also what kind of punishment you can get in for doing this. Citation would be great too
online gambling sites

this may help, but since it’s a college report i kind of doubt they would accept wikipedia as a source considering how it’s not very reliable..
i would say go to the sites .. like pokerstars ulimatebet. etc there is many if you look… on there more about us tells you almost everything, those are poker sites there are other different gambling sites .. this is the internet just ask.com or yahoo gambling industry . sorry if i couldnt help ..
In terms of laws surrounding online gambling, the most important one in the US is the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (2006) (check out and look out for any more specific information you can find in libraries etc.), which put significant restrictions on the industry.
You may also wish to look into the stances being taken by McCain and Obama over the issue in the lead up to the election – Obama in particular has express desire to look into regulating the practice, rather than banning it (check out as this page has some articles on both candidates, as well as the ongoing struggle between Antingua and the US over online gambling, which may be of interest). Also look into a man named Barney Frank, who is one of the industry’s biggest proponents in congress (http://www.barneyfrank.net/) and continues to fight for legalised online gambling.
More information on international laws in general can be found at – that site has some good info on the industry in general.
Good luck finding out what you need, hope that helped a little!
ETA: I just found this, it’s the original text of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act that I mentioned – this should be really helpful when talking about the legal side!
