Comment on the level of risk:
In the US, regulation is very fragmented: some states harshly suppress offshore sites and advertising campaigns. DOJ and local AG have become coordinated against large-scale illegal networks. Foreign affiliates are usually not the primary target, but financial lawsuits/blocks and requests to payment providers are a real threat. The US has hundreds of bilateral agreements; actively pursue international fraud schemes, financial crimes, cyber fraud. If you are physically in a country, or in a partner country (many countries), the risk of extradition and criminal prosecution is very real. Especially high if arbitration involves financial blows (working with cards, laundering, mass fraudulent schemes), or if the US considers activities part of a criminal scheme. There are no treaties with many countries - e.g. China, Russia - which reduces the risk of extradition from them.

Gambling in the country
In the summer of 2024, the National Council of Gambling State Legislators (NCLGS) proposed legalizing online gambling in all states, as it generates stable income, unlike sports betting. The corresponding bill has already been created. Its discussion by officials was supposed to begin in August, and the final set of rules was to be determined in December 2024.
As of mid-summer 2024, online betting in the United States is legalized in 38 out of 51 states, as well as the District of Columbia, when online casinos are available in only 7. According to data, US gambling revenue in Q1 in 2024 has already reached a record $17.67 billion. The total GGR of the online segment reached $5.31 billion and for the first time amounted to 29.3% of the total quarterly GGR.
However, while legalized operators are gaining momentum, offshore operators are already «picking cream»: in 2023, gray iGaming brought GGR of $9.5 billion in three key markets: New York (only betting is legal), New Jersey (only online gambling is legal) and Minnesota (iGaming is illegal).Three states continue to accept more than 800 unlicensed operators.
Today, the black online gambling market has free rein in the United States, as legalizing iGaming in different states requires more time to advance through legislatures, which cannot be said about sports betting. This is likely due to skepticism from authorities and offline casino operators who fear that online gambling will completely «strangle» ground establishments.
But outside researchers, regardless of the legalization of online gambling, predict that within five years the online industry will experience an even more impressive average annual growth rate (CAGR) - 16.52% from 2024 to 2029, which is explained by an entrenched gambling culture and rapid development sports betting in the country. But given the potential mass legalization of online casinos, the US iGaming market could «explode» in 2025: in this case, we will be talking about a completely different growth rate and GGR.
