Bu makalede kumar kavramı yapısal ve karşılaştırmalı bir metodla incelenmiştir. Amaç AB hukukunda ve ABD hukukunda kumar kavramının tanımlarını incelemek ve karşılaştırmak suretiyle farklılıkları ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu incelemenin önemli bir bulgusu kumarın tanımının temel unsurları olan şans, riske edilen katılım payı ve ödül kavramlarının tanımlarının dahi farklılık göstermekte olduğudur. Bunlara ek olarak kanunda öngörülen istisnalar ve risk içeren belli aktivitelerin farklı sınıflandırılması sebebi ile kumara ilişkin ulusal düzenlemeler arasındaki farlılıklar artmaktadır. Böylece, kumar kavramını her ülkenin kendilerine has hukuki düzenlemelerle farklı tanımladığı ortaya çıkmaktadır.

Structural Comparative Analysis of the Legal Definition of Gambling

Öz

In this article the term gambling is defined via structural comparative analysis. The objective is to compare and contrast the legal definitions of gambling in the US and the EU and show that there are significant differences. An important finding of this analysis is that despite similarities in the primary components, which are chance, stake and prize, used in defining what gambling is, there are also differences in how these three concepts are defined. In addition, via implementation of specific exclusions and differential treatment of certain activities, the variations of definitions of gambling and the discrepancies among national legislation increase, making the concept of gambling particular to each nation.
