federal law in the United States; policing home users, service
providers and advertisers; then moves to Native American Issues
including Magbingo and Megamania.
Chapters 15
to 21 focus on Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, The
Netherlands and an important in-depth section devoted to Australia;
followed by Singapore; and International Enforcement. He wraps

The book contains
a timesaving alphabetically-arranged index. Not every chapter

the pros and cons of Internet wagering a more intelligent researcher
or participant by book's end.
