\"is_it_legal_to_play_online_blackjack_in_the_us\"Kurz gesagt;<\/strong> Es gibt kein Bundesgesetz gegen Blackjack online spielen<\/a>. Es gibt einige Staaten, in denen es f\u00fcr illegal erkl\u00e4rt wird, aber eine strafrechtliche Verfolgung w\u00e4re extrem selten und w\u00fcrde sich wahrscheinlich eher gegen eine Einrichtung als gegen den Spieler richten.<\/p>\n

For players in almost every state, it is safe to play blackjack online for real money.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Es wird oft berichtet, dass es in den USA illegal ist, Blackjack online um echtes Geld zu spielen.<\/p>\n

Aber ist es das wirklich?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lassen Sie uns dieses verwirrende und h\u00e4ufig missverstandene Problem direkt angehen und l\u00f6sen.<\/p>\n

Lassen Sie uns also eines klarstellen:<\/p>\n

Blackjack online zu spielen ist in keiner Weise durch Bundesgesetz verboten<\/h2>\n

\"playing_blackjack_online_is_not_legally\"Es gibt kein einziges Gesetz<\/strong> gegen Online-Gl\u00fccksspiele auf Bundesebene, was ein Mythos ist, der h\u00f6chstwahrscheinlich auf einer Fehlinterpretation des Gesetzes beruht Gesetz zur Durchsetzung des ungesetzlichen Internet-Gl\u00fccksspiels von 2006<\/a> die besagt:<\/p>\n

The Act prohibits gambling businesses from knowingly accepting payments in connection with the participation of another person in a bet or wager that involves the use of the Internet and that is unlawful under any federal or state law (termed “restricted transactions” in the Act). <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dies bedeutet im Grunde, dass es den Banken verboten ist, wissentlich Transaktionen zu akzeptieren, die das Ergebnis einer illegalen Online-Wette sind.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sie besagt keineswegs, dass die Teilnahme an Online-Gl\u00fccksspielen f\u00fcr einen Spieler illegal ist!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another reason why some people may think it is illegal is the confusion of the Federal Wire Act, a 1961 law aimed at operators sending bets across state lines, not at the person playing. The Justice Department briefly argued in a 2018 opinion that the Wire Act covered all online gambling, but in 2021 a federal appeals court, in New Hampshire Lottery Commission v. Rosen<\/em>, ruled that it applies only to sports betting, and that ruling still stands. So it has no bearing on whether playing online blackjack is legal.<\/p>\n

Gibt es staatliche Gesetze, die Online Blackjack ausdr\u00fccklich zulassen?<\/h2>\n

Ein weiterer Grund, warum es verwirrend ist, festzustellen, ob das Online-Gl\u00fccksspiel legal ist, ist die Tatsache, dass die meisten Staaten tats\u00e4chlich keine besonderen Gesetze haben<\/strong> die f\u00fcr Online-Gl\u00fccksspiele im Allgemeinen gelten.<\/p>\n

Wenn es kein spezielles Gesetz gibt, das Online-Gl\u00fccksspiele verbietet, gelten sie als legal.<\/p>\n

However there are now seven<\/strong> states that have explicitly passed laws to license and regulate their own online casinos, which are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. New Jersey<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Delaware<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Pennsylvania<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. West Virginia<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Michigan<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Connecticut<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Rhode Island<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Maine<\/a> has also legalized online casino play and is preparing to launch. Nevada is a special case: it allows regulated online poker and sports betting but has not licensed online casino games.<\/p>\n

    Staaten, in denen Online Blackjack technisch gesehen illegal ist<\/h2>\n

    \"sates_where_online_blackjack_is_technically_illegal\"A handful of states still have statutes on the books that address online gambling: Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Montana, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin.<\/strong> The one to take seriously is Washington<\/strong>, where transmitting or receiving gambling information online is a Class C felony under state law (RCW 9.46.240). Even there, no individual playing from home has ever been prosecuted. In the other states the statutes exist, but their real target is the Online-Casinos<\/a> themselves and not the player, so the likelihood of a player being charged is extremely low, and even then it would most likely be considered nur eine Ordnungswidrigkeit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Es gibt nur einen Vorfall aus dem Jahr 2003 in North Dakota, bei dem sich ein Spieler, Jeffrey Trauman, schuldig bekannte, eine Wette \u00fcber $500 platziert zu haben, und wegen einer Ordnungswidrigkeit angeklagt und anschlie\u00dfend mit einer Geldstrafe von $500 belegt wurde.

    So for further clarity, here is every state grouped by how its laws treat online blackjack, so you can easily see where the state you reside in stands.<\/p>\n

    In the table below, Regulated<\/strong> means the state licenses and runs its own online casinos; No specific law<\/strong> means no state law makes it a crime for you to play online, though no state-licensed casino operates there; and Verboten<\/strong> means the state has a statute that specifically addresses online gambling. Even in the Prohibited states the target is the operators rather than players, and no home player has ever been prosecuted apart from the single 2003 case above.

    *Nevada regulates online poker and sports betting but has not licensed online casino games, so for online blackjack it sits in the same no-specific-law group as most states.<\/p>\n

    Wenn Sie unsicher sind, lassen Sie sich rechtlich beraten<\/h2>\n

    Im Zweifelsfall sollten Sie professionellen Rechtsrat einholen: Diese Website dient dazu, den Spielern Ratschl\u00e4ge zu geben, und ist nicht rechtsverbindlich. Sollten Sie also einmal differenziertere Fragen haben, sollten Sie einen Juristen konsultieren.<\/p>\n

    Wie kann ich angesichts des UIGEA Geld einzahlen und abheben und wo kann ich spielen?<\/h2>\n

    The UIGEA has made it considerably more difficult for US residents to deposit and withdraw money from casinos. For example, e-Wallet services such as PayPal or Skrill (formerly Moneybookers), which are commonly used to transfer funds to and from casinos, generally will not work for US residents playing at offshore sites. PayPal does work at the licensed casinos in regulated states, but not for offshore play.<\/p>\n

    Most often, players from the US will be able to use debit cards, direct bank wire transfer, checks, and automated clearing house (ACH). For offshore play, the most reliable method is cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, which is quick and avoids the card declines. Read our complete guide on how to buy Bitcoin for gambling online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    If your state licenses its own online casinos, those regulated operators are the safest option, and you can find them on our US online casinos hub<\/a>. For US residents in states without a regulated market, we recommend Bovada<\/a> oder Betonline<\/a>, and our guide to US offshore online casinos<\/a> covers how to choose one and get paid.<\/p>\n
