Three
Reasons For Legal US Online Casinos
America’s Watchdogs, a national advocacy group for online
casinos, has expressed its dissatisfaction with the Unlawful Internet Gambling
Enforcement Act. With organizations like the American Gaming Association
calling the UIGEA “confusing,” America’s Watchdogs are not alone in the
sentiment.

Watchdogs Disappointed With Online Casino Law
President Bush attempted, finally, to enforce the US
perspective on online casino gambling by signing the Unlawful Internet
Gambling Enforcement Act. One month after the passing of the bill that
was supposed end online casinos in the United States, a national advocacy
group chose to conduct a study on the effectiveness of the new law.

The Big
Online Casino That Could
888.com, the incredibly successful online casino group

More Delays for Online Casino Account Holders

No Chance
of Legal Online Casino Poker
Hopeful online casino
sites and blogs have discussed the possibility of online casino poker
being exempted in future amendments to the Unlawful Internet Gambling
Enforcement Act. That would allow online casinos to exist, in some form,
in the United States.

Online
Casino Witch Hunt Adds Terrorism
As if the loss of NETeller was not enough bad news for US online casino
players. The FBI has frozen the funds of all customers in the United States
using a NETeller online casino e-wallet. At one time it was believed that
online casino guests would be refunded the money from their digital accounts.
Now all funds are being held by the FBI as evidence.

FBI Further
Confuses Online Casino Matters
In the face of public outcry, the United States Congress, the Courts, and
the President have all stuck their influential fingers into online
casinos. Now, as if the poker rooms were not crowded enough, yet
another agency has bought in; the Federal Bureau of Intelligence.
The introduction of the FBI has added more confusion to the already upside
down online casino industry.

Online casinos stood in a very ambiguous place on US law
books for a number of years. President Bush put that to an end last year when

casinos became illegal for US Citizens. In spite of that, 4 months later, online
casinos are still permitting US players to play at their sites.

casino industry.
