In the past internet casinos have been run in a grey area of the law especially in the US. Due to recent changes in US legislation it looks as though internet casinos have been declared illegal in the US and it may be difficult for US citizens to find online casinos which will take their bets. There are many casinos based outside the US but it is likely the large payment processors such as Mastercard and Visa will refuse to transfer funds from US accounts to these casinos as a result of the changes. In most of the rest of the world this is irrelevant and there is no such problem gambling online.

Setting up with and internet casino is usually relatively simple. When choosing which company to use it is always wise to check they are have been around for a few years and have a decent reputation. You can do this by consulting a some of the gambling forums or searching for disgruntled customers. Be careful as quite a few companies have gone bust in the past owing lots of money.
