Internet Casinos, Where are they based?
All internet casinos are located outside the U.S. They are generally licensed in the country they are in and have to report to the local government to some extent. Antigua, Curacao, St. Kitts, Grenada, Dominican Republican, Gibraltar, Cook Islands are just a few countries that license them. Having said this though, most of the companies that run casinos offshore are actually operated from the US - it is just their servers that are located offshore. The reason these small countries allow Online Gambling operatiors to set up is vecause it can help boost their economy. Companies pay anything up to $100,000 to gain a gaming license in these countries, as well as paying ongoing taxes to the local Government.
Most online casino sites are operated in the United Kingdom, while the servers that hold the casino sites are based in other countries where it is legal.
These countries that run gambling sites, like any casino, can profit from the many players that use or gamble on their games or at their sites. Most likely wherever you can obtain a gaming license, you will find some type of legal gambling site or location.
