Against all odds, Donald Trump wound up staging arguably the biggest political upset in the history of American politics four years ago when he beat Hillary Clinton. On Election Day 2016, Clinton had higher than a 70 percent implied probability of winning the general election, with Trump facing incredibly long odds. In spite of it all, Trump eked out a victory by the slimmest of margins. Seemingly every battleground state swung in the direction of the Republicans. In states like Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, a narrow majority of voters wanted to see what the political outsider would…

Many states and countries now offer legal and regulated online gaming markets. The licensed online casinos that serve these jurisdictions are completely legal. Therefore, they don’t need to accept obscure banking options to serve players. Instead, these casinos take payments that come through mainstream banks, credit card networks, and e-wallets.
