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
he signed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. Suddenly, online
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.
The questions that arise: Are the online casinos breaking
the law and are the players breaking the law?
Truthfully, President Bush’s attempt to clarify simply produced more confusion.
The online casino bill is laden with grey areas. Online casino players in the
US are not sure whether or not to play at online casinos.
At almost the same hour that the online casino ban was passed, a brand new blog
was established at uscasino.blogspot.com. The purpose of the blog is to keep US
online casino fans abreast of the ins and outs of the new law.
Since the launch of the blog, over 5000 visitors from North America have hit the
site. All of them players seeking a way to continue play at their favorite
online casinos.
In the last few weeks, the blog has received several updates. Operators of the
blog are determined to keep it current. Recent changes in the online casino
world involve exits from the US market, including major eWallets and online
casinos. The blog offers fresh information on eWallets that still accept US
customers.
Randy Parkes, blog owner, believes in the power of the people. He hopes the
continual play of US online casino players will make it clear to authorities
that citizens want the freedom to spend their money the way they choose.
Players will also find at the site, information on online
casinos still accepting US wagers and various news snippets from the online
casino world.
