Is Pokemon Go legal at all in the UK?
<p>The Vagrancy Act 1824 has this to say </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>every Person playing or betting in any Street, Road, Highway, or other open and public Place, at or with any Table or Instrument of gaming, at
  any Game or pretended Game' of Chance</p>
</blockquote>

<p>outdated or not, I believe this is the law. So... what's the situation here?</p>

<p>Edit: because I was asked where did I find this, it's in <a href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1824/83/pdfs/ukpga_18240083_en.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1824/83/pdfs/ukpga_18240083_en.pdf</a></p>

<p>I've had a good look at the <a href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Geo4/5/83/contents" rel="noreferrer">Vagrancy Act</a>, and I have to say that i can't find the text that you're looking for.</p>

<p>It's possibly been repealed, in which case it's not, in fact, the law - even if it were, it is unlikely that this provision would have applied to most games, as it appears to be Games or pretended Games of Chance that it targets.</p>
