- icegreentea2 3y agoState regulation more or less means creating classes of illegal acts. There are no regulations on how you should sit on a chair within your home, therefore in so much as you are not breaking other laws while doing so, there is no such thing as illegal chair sitting in your own home. There are regulations on driving on public roads, therefore there are such acts like 'illegal driving'. Things like driving without a permit for example. If there are legalized forms of gambling, then as long as there are any restrictions at all, there will exist illegal forms of gambling.
