Gambling in the USA
US Online Sports Betting 2020 Survey
77% of republicans view owning a gun as morally acceptable, while only 43% are in favor of the legalization of online gambling. This is one of many findings in a new survey that was created to map the attitude towards online gambling in the US. The survey was conducted by Bettingscanner.com.
Bettingscanner.com, a website that compares and reviews sportsbooks for Americans, have published the results of their latest poll, designed to measure how American’s view online gambling compared to other habits. Here are some of the key takeaways:
- Despite an image problem, most American’s are in favour of the legalization of online gambling
Only 4 out 10 Americans consider gambling online as morally acceptable despite the fact that the federal ban on gambling was lifted in 2018. Americans can currently gamble online in a number of states including New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Indiana. Despite its current image amongst the population, only 14% of Americans would completely disagree with the legalization of online gambling. - Four in ten Americans view the use of single-use plastics as morally acceptable
In recent years there has been a huge push in the US to reduce the amount of single-use plastics. However the results show there is a clear political divide when it comes to this topic, with 51% of Republican respondents viewing it as morally acceptable compared to 39% of Democrats. - Democrats view smoking marijuana as more acceptable than Republicans
According to the survey 46% of Americans view smoking marijuana as not morally acceptable, despite the drug being legal in 11 states. The result gets more interesting once you break it down along political lines, with only a third of Republicans viewing the use of the drug as morally acceptable compared to 54% of Democrats. - The majority of Americans view owning a gun as morally acceptable
The issue of gun crime in the US, is a hotly debated topic, but results show that the majority of Americans do not view owning a gun as morally unacceptable.
It’s here we see the biggest split between the two major political parties; with 77% of Republicans having no moral objective to owning a gun, compared to 45% of Democrats.

Aviator has launched in the United States for the first time through Lucky North Casino, a free-to-play social casino from Ruby Seven Studios serving Delaware North casino customers across the country.
The crash game is now live on Lucky North Casino, the official app of the Lucky North Rewards program. According to the announcement, Aviator is available on Android and Apple devices, as well as on the web via LuckyNorthCasino.com.
The company said the launch is the first step in a broader US expansion plan. Aviator is currently available across all eligible US states excluding Washington, and is expected to roll out to “more than a dozen” additional retail-branded social casinos in the coming months via the Ruby Seven Studios network.
Ruby Seven Studios’ network supports nearly 50 retail casino properties across 25 US states, which the company said will extend Aviator’s reach. The release added that a demo version of Aviator had previously been accessible to US audiences through the company’s website.
The launch follows Aviator’s expansion across several markets throughout 2026, with the company pointing to increasing demand for crash-style gaming experiences globally as it broadens distribution in North America.

1X2 Network launches iCasino content in West Virginia with Rush Street, Caesars and Fanatics
1X2 Network has launched in West Virginia, marking its second regulated US market. The supplier said a first set of games went live on 3 June 2026 with Rush Street, Caesars Entertainment and Fanatics Casino.
The company entered North America in Michigan two years ago and said it is expanding US distribution off the back of performance there. 1X2 Network did not disclose commercial terms or rollout timelines by operator.
Among the initial titles going live in West Virginia are 3 Hot Chilli Peppers and 3 Porky Banks Hold and Win. The company said both games have been “ranked as top performers in North America” and are aimed at West Virginia’s “core 30-39 year old iGaming demographic.”
Kevin Reid, CEO at 1X2 Network, said: “Buoyed by the performance of our top tier titles in Michigan, we felt the time was right to step up our US expansion plans, and in Rush Street, Caesars Entertainment and Fanatics Casino, we couldn’t think of three better operators to debut our launch into West Virginia.
“Having already worked with these brands in the Great Lakes State, we’re confident that games like 3 Hot Chilli Peppers and 3 Porky Banks Hold and Win will deliver the same great results for them in West Virginia. We also have deals in the pipeline to go live with a number of other big-name operators which will further cement our presence in North America.”
