With the advent of technology and the global\u00a0popularity of the internet, gambling online has become a popular form of betting. The first online\u00a0gambling website was initiated in 1995 (American Gaming Association, 2007). Forms of online\u00a0gambling include sports betting, games of skill, such as poker, and other casino games, such as\u00a0blackjack or roulette. The nature of online gambling has changed rapidly over the past several\u00a0years; not only has it increased in popularity, but it has also introduced vital new legal and public\u00a0health concerns. This review will provide a comprehensive summary of the current state of online\u00a0gambling with particular attention paid to other jurisdictions, current legislation, and future\u00a0outlooks. There are two main forms of online gambling; online wagering and online gaming.\u00a0Online wagering involves the placing of bets on a physical event, such as a horse race or sports\u00a0game. Online gaming involves the playing of games generated by software where results are\u00a0determined randomly (McMillen, 2000). Within this report, the term \u201conline gambling\u201d will refer\u00a0to both of these forms of betting over the internet.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"\/\/docs.google.com\/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcjr.ufv.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F01%2FReview-of-Online-Gambling-Literature.pdf&hl=en_US&embedded=true\" class=\"gde-frame\" style=\"width:100%; height:500px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<p class=\"gde-text\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cjr.ufv.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Review-of-Online-Gambling-Literature.pdf\" class=\"gde-link\">Download (PDF, Unknown)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gambling is an activity that involves placing a wager with something of significance (e.g. money)\u00a0on an outcome that is uncertain (MacKay, 2004).
