Why is Europe ok with it but not the US?

In Europe it is regulated right? Can't US do the same thing and stop treating people like children already?

Basically b/c our country was built by people who DIDN'T like how things were there. Also the reason why we are so spread out, as in suburbs.

LOL, UK is ok with it, but rest of Europe not so much.

It's basically illegal, but nobody really cares and it's no problem to fund your sportsbook accounts or e-wallets.
Maybe some day the European Union finally acts and drops the federal monopolies on lotteries and betting that are in place in most European country, but right now these monopolies are still in place for Germany, Netherlands and lots of other European countries.

They are more advance than us and the religious factions are not as strong as they are here. Look at all the nude beaches over there too, to them its no bid deal. Here you have to go the private areas or somewhere out of the way to see stuff like that.

Because the majority of the country are brainwashed religious nuts and religion now rules the country

They didn't like things there because they couldn't be religious zealots over there like they were here. That translated into the US being a repressed society.

america is still too uptight and wants to maintain the veneer of moral superiority.

The US is fine with gambling for the most part, thats why you see them pushing casinos and lotteries so hard. They probably figure if people cant do it online they will buy more lotto tickets and go to real casinos more.

I think basically the United States has become too Civilized in so many ways.

except for the part where we drive around with bumper stickers on our cars declaring our support for people who invade and murder for a shitty paycheck. If Barbarians would have had bumper stickers I wonder what they would have said.

That is strange. So I guess they think if sports gambling becomes legal it will be open to corruption?

That sucks.
