US Online Casinos

The Legalities of Online Gaming in the US

US Online Casinos were one of the pioneers of online gambling and have done much to set the high benchmarks for this industry. Things were on a roll when on September 30, 2006, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was passed in the US Congress. Not only did this piece of legislation come as a surprise but it also created total confusion for the US online gaming industry. Experts in law opine that this law does not make online gambling in the USA illegal but merely blocks gambling related financial transactions, which to the layman is one and the same thing. Because without being able to transfer money to the USA Online Casinos how would one gamble there?

The operators of US Online Casinos are not sure as to the status of online gambling, what is allowed and what is not. The players are equally confused and the question on everyone’s mind is that which are the Casinos for US players. This is because different US Online Casinos have reacted differently to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. Some US Online Casinos have closed shop not wanting to take a chance of being on the wrong side of the law. Some Casinos for US players are restricting their operations to certain states only. And finally there are US Online Casinos who are carrying on regardless. Fortunately for the players several US Casinos Guides are available online. The US Online Casinos Guide lists which US Online Casinos are still in operation and which are operating in certain states only.
