| I know that this will not apply to US casinos, but outside of the US, what brick and mortar casinos have an online equivalent too? Is it common to do that, or are the two gambling entities normally stand alone?

| You know what? I actually have been wondering about this as well myself. I am not sure how online and offline casinos would be set up in other countries, but I imagine that there are quite a few companies that will offer both offline and online casinos, but I really do not know all the particulars on how everything would function.

| The only things I know for sure are that the US doesn't allow online gambling so they aren't likely to have any, and that places like Ladbrokes in the UK-they have them don't they? But they are bookies, not casinos, and I didn't know that they had casinos at all so they are only mildly related.

| Well, I know of a number of online casinos that share names with land based United States casinos, so I don't know how exactly they have that all set up. Chances are these online casinos are just licensing the rights to use the names, and the actual land casinos have no real control or say in operation of it. That's really the only way I could explain why many online casinos take the names that they do.

| I can't think of any I've heard of with an online and b&m casino of the same name. I would imagine international copyright gets tricky since US casinos can't have online casinos, etc.

I read, somewhere, that there are ways to get around the laws restricting the transfer of funds for gambling by using certain debit cards. I would imagine that, if you have an account with an offshore payment processor, you could still bet to your heart's content.
I think any brick and mortar casino not figuring out how to get going online, is missing a huge opportunity, but I do n't think any of the small stakes casinos, in my state, offer online gambling, yet.

| Casino operators are smart, and most usually hire lawyers to investigate things which may cause them some legal troubles. They want to make a lot of money of course, but they can usually keep out of trouble. Just tying your name to a project without having direct control should be OK. Besides that, I have no clue!

| I would love to see some of the US casinos do this on-line. I sure would have a ball without having to leave home. I would still do my 2 times a year at the casino and then others in there online place.
