GameMaster: What are the laws against online gambling?
If I were to create a website that sold items in the style of gambling, do you think this would be illegal? I don’t see how there could be any laws online since the website isn’t only one country.

Varies state to state, country to country. But it’s illegal to have the server anywhere in the USA – thats why they are all offshore.
Online gambling is illegal in some countries. However, in others, it’s regulated. You may or may not have to apply for special permits and so on. I don’t exactly know what you mean by you selling items “in the style of gambling”. It’s too ambiguous. For one thing, some people view auctioning alike to gambling, and there are auction websites like ebay.com functioning.
Since I don;t really know what you mean, just consider that having a website on online gambling wouldn’t be illegal, since it technically the trade is not illegal in most countries. However, make sure you restrict the access by having some kind of system, like a membership scheme. You must also make sure that if it’s really similar to gambling, you have checks and balances to keep minors out.
