Though the United States of America is considered the ‘home of the free’, their gambling legislation is not so liberal.
The laws from state to state vary quite considerably. Online gambling is outlawed in just about every state, thanks to Federal laws which outlaw Internet gambling and transacting financially with betting institutions via internet banking or wire transfer.
New Hampshire is one of the states with the strictest and most conservative views on gambling in their constitution.
Though stringent laws opposing most forms of gambling now preside, there seems to be a push towards legislation changes in this regard in the not too distant future.

Is Online Gambling Legal in New Hampshire?
While online gambling is not directly referred to in the New Hampshire constitution, it is accepted that it fits under the category of a ‘game of chance’. All games of chance are outlawed in the state, aside from certain charitable games, such as lotto and bingo, as well as Pari-mutuel betting on horse racing and dog racing.
Federal laws directly call for the outlawing of online gambling by way of the ‘Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act and the Federal Wire Act. These laws can only be overturned if expressly pardoned by the Senate for a specific state. New Hampshire has not pushed for this bill yet and is therefore subject to this legislation, completely.
