Why We Are Outraged: An Economic Analysis Of Internet Gambling, Frank Vandall

Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business

While domestic casinos and lotteries take in about $84.7 billion a year; internet gambling is worth about $12 billion. By comparison, movies bring in about $23.24 billion a year. Fifty-two percent of the population gambles. Although all but two states (Utah and Hawaii) permit gambling of some sort, none license internet gambling. It is therefore illegal in all 50 states. Estimates suggest that only 1% of the population engages in internet gambling.

Jay Cohen's Brave New World: The Liability Of Offshore Operators Of Licensed Internet Casinos For Breach Of United States' Anti-Gambling Laws, Adrian Goss

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

On February 28, 2000, Jay Cohen, co-owner of an Antiguan-based Internet casino called World Sports Exchange, was convicted by a U.S. District Court jury in Manhattan of breaching the Wire Communications Act of 1961 (hereinafter Wire Act). A New York federal judge subsequently fined Cohen $5,000 and sentenced him to serve a twenty-one month jail term. A few days prior to his conviction, Cohen's lawyer stated that "Jay strongly believes that he did not commit a crime, that he ran [World Sports Exchange] in a completely legitimate manner."


Who Gets A Dead Man's Gold? The Dilemma Of Lottery Winnings Payable To A Decedent's Estate, M. Eldridge Blanton Dec 1993

Who Gets A Dead Man's Gold? The Dilemma Of Lottery Winnings Payable To A Decedent's Estate, M. Eldridge Blanton

University of Richmond Law Review

This article addresses the federal estate tax and federal income tax consequences of lottery winnings which flow to the estate of a decedent or, alternatively, directly to the decedent's beneficiaries. State income tax and state death tax considerations must also be taken into account. With respect to these secondary implications, this article draws largely upon the Code of Virginia and the relevant sections of Virginia's income tax and estate tax statutes. Some references will be made to the possibility of contrary statutory treatment in other states, but primary reliance will be upon Virginia law.
