Michigan and West Virginia have recently legalized iGaming but are not yet offering it. Of the 25 states with commercial casino gambling, internet gambling (that is, traditional casino games played electronically over the internet, usually distinct from online sports betting) is only available in Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the U.S. Of the 44 states with lotteries, only 11 allow some form of internet play, either permitting lottery tickets to be sold over the internet or offering online lottery subscriptions. Most states do not allow internet gambling. Internet gambling is another area that may soon see a COVID-19 bump.
Whether it’s remote work, online shopping, online learning or remote health care, new methods and changes in consumer behaviors will likely continue after the virus has run its course. The coronavirus pandemic has changed the way we use the internet.
