Related Topics: United States of America

Online poker is a game that is played over the internet. Many states have started to legalize this type of gaming. This has helped to increase the popularity of the game in the United States. It is also a good source of revenue for state governments.

However, online poker is still illegal in the majority of the United States. The federal government has taken steps to ensure that only legitimate poker sites are allowed to operate in the country. As a result, the state of California has a constitutional amendment that requires voter approval in order to allow for such gambling.
