In addition, the Travel Act and the Illegal Gambling Business Act have been used to prosecute gambling entities that take interstate or international bets over the telephone and would likely be applicable to Internet gambling activity. Some states have taken specific legislative actions to address Internet gambling, in some cases criminalizing it and in others relying on existing gambling laws to bring actions against entities engaging in or facilitating Internet gambling. Like the U.S. states, other countries have enacted laws that explicitly prohibit or permit Internet gambling under certain conditions or rely on existing laws to prosecute Internet gaming activity.
