\"\"<\/a>SOCIAL gaming and real-life betting is rapidly becoming a match-made in heaven. It\u2019s recently been exposed that Zynga is in talks with Wynn Resorts about a potential online gambling link between the two. Although none have commented on the matter, it doesn\u2019t stop the rumour mill from running.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0At least 20 states are considering legalizing online gambling after the Justice Department reinterpreted a decades-old federal law in December and found it only banned sports betting and not other forms of online gambling. In light of this, Zynga CEO Mark Pincus has said that the firm\u2019s possibilities are \u201cmind-blowing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0The nypost.com discovered that there could be a few problems that Zynga would encounter. Firstly, Wynn wouldn\u2019t have to be the only partnership.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Among the problems: Most of the proposed state legislation would restrict online licenses to those who already are licensed to run a state gaming operation. Wynn only operates in Nevada.<\/p>\n

New Jersey, for instance, has a bill that passed the state Senate and is now in the Assembly that would grant Internet licenses only to those with computer servers based in Atlantic City casinos. \u201cOur goal is to help existing casino operators. We don\u2019t know anything about Zynga,\u201d state Assembly Regulatory Oversight and Gaming Committee Chair Ruben Ramos Jr. told The Post.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0Zynga could be moving to the UK, facing fierce competition at the same time.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Facebook, which does not want to host online gambling on its own site, has held conversations with UK online bookmakers William Hill and Ladbrokes about offering Facebook users access to their sites, a source said.<\/p>\n
