In late 2011 the Department of Justice decided to allow each individual state their own voice in the online gambling argument. Soon after, Nevada was the landmark first state to pass online gambling legislation. Delaware and New Jersey have since also legalized online gambling in some form for their residents and visitors. There are also another dozen or so states which are currently pushing for online gambling, but there is at least one United States law maker who would like to see a blanket piece of legislation which would regulate the entire US.
