QUOTE - DEFINITION:
Sport is an activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. Sports commonly refer to activities where the physical capabilities of the competitor are the sole or primary determinant of the outcome (winning or losing), but the term is also used to include activities such as MIND SPORTS (a common name for some card games and BOARD GAMES with LITTLE to no ELEMENT OF CHANCE) and motor sports where mental acuity or equipment quality are major factors.
QUOTE:
Gambling is the wagering of money or something of material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods.
Note:
Under US federal law, gambling is legal in the United States, and states are free to regulate or prohibit the practice.
Online gambling is a general term for gambling using the Internet.
