The Internet provides tremendous opportunities for new online services, including online gaming and amusement services. However, betting and gambling is generally regulated on a geopolitical basis, so it is necessary to determine the physical locations of the end users, the gambling server and the gambling service provider. The invention provides a means for doing so, by identifying the location of the End User's Internet Service Provider. This allows Internet gambling and betting to be regulated and controlled. The location of the ISP may be determined many ways including: the ISP indicating its physical location, the location being determined from the ISP's IP Address, or using the Data Link Control (DLC) address or Media Access Control (MAC) address of the ISP.
