Online gambling for the Facebook generation
U.K.-based Betfair is betting that the U.S. market will be legalized sooner rather than later.
NEW YORK (Fortune) -- If your favorite book happens to be Seabiscuit, you already know the answer to the following question: What are the three legal forms of online gambling in the United States?
The Federal Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, passed in 2006, put the kibosh on all kinds of online gambling, with the exception of fantasy sports, online lotteries, and horse/harness racing. It actually wasn't the betting that was outlawed, but the transfer of money from a bank to an online gambling site. In any event, for online betting houses in the U.S., the party was over -- sort of.

Online casino sites brought the convenience and speed of the net to the consumer. So far online gambling has lacked the social aspect that some players thrive on. With the effort of applying the Facebook generation, the future casino users will create their own virtual characters (avatars) to represent them like in Facebookor. Online gamblers could then employ these face book avatars to look around and meet people via their social networks talk to other players, play a few games of roulette, slots or blackjack all in a fun, unique and safe environment.
