kayenne23 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I searched the web and came across with some crazy gambling laws around the globe. So I decided to share it here as well. Soo..... 1. Texas hold em is NOT allowed in Texas. Government does not allow citizens of Texas to be owners of poker rooms. 2. Per japanese law, gambling is prohibited except horse betting, nascar f1 and other racing car betting, Australian football and Lotteries! And of course Pachinko! Pachinko is the only game allowed by Japan due to history and economical reasons. 3. In Kentucky if someone wins up to 4 dollars playing slots it's acceptable. But if he wins more than 5 dollars, the one who lost gains the right to sue the winner for up to 3x the win! 4. Oklahoma doesn't let women gamble if they are naked or wear undergarments or wear only a towel! 5. Las Vegas didn't let citizens to bet on the nevada's universities such as college football etc. In 2001 the law was dismissed. 6. Citizens of monte carlo are not allowed to enter in any of monaco's casinos! 7. In canada dice crabs is prohibited. So they decided to make the game with cards instead! So yeah that's how you bypass the law. 8. In north carolina it's illegal for any bingo game to last for more than 5 hours. 9. Greyhound racing is south africa is illegal since it's considered animal cruelty. 10. In Cambodia and UAE gambling is illegal. If you get caught gambling you might face jail time. 11. In carolina is prohibited to bet on candidates on the elections. If you do it, you will be fined and face jail time. 12. Michigan did not have gambling laws for a lot of years until recently. Anyone with some crazy gambling law or any crazy other law except gambling is welcomed. *In Singapore in 94 chewing gum was Illegal!! Oh yeah the reason behind it ? From vandalism to keeping the cities clean. niran, ValDes, Afi4wins and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG99 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 How bizarre haha, the last one about chewing gum, has there really been an offcial legislation developed for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0el Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 It was interesting to read. All the same, it is interesting why many of the above generally fell into the law. What could have happened initially, what prompted this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidColdman Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Very funny laws. It is very interesting how government officials came up with them and what explanations they have. I also found some interesting and funny laws. In New Zealand, gambling is allowed to New Zealanders only if the site they use is not from the territory of New Zealand. All New Zealand sites are directly regulated by the New Zealand government and are for foreign users only. or another: The odd thing about the law that covers gambling in this country is that even though online betting is illegal, the land-based casinos are not. And this is where it gets weird, as only one of the 17 casinos is for their citizens, and others are strictly for the foreigners. Quite unusual and strange.
