Where are the Casinos and Sports Books
located?
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. Indeed, several of the companies are listed on the NASDAQ stock
exchange.
The reason these small countries allow Online Gambling operators to set up is because
it can help boost their economy. Companies pay up to $100,000 to gain a gaming license in these countries, as well
as paying ongoing taxes to the local Government.
