American Government vs online casino
The number of visitors at gambling web-sites sufficiently declined when the President of America signed the law making legal operations between banks and web-sites impossible. Games themselves were claimed to be illegal long time before by George Bush. These are the results of the latest research made by specialists from Nielsen/NetRatings.
A lot of online casinos had problems with accepting us players and as a result general website traffic of the most popular resources, which included Sportsbook.com, PartyPoker.com and Ultimatebet.com, fell to 56 per cent.
The law forced owners of online casino for US players stop their activity or move their business to off-shore zones.
Administration of the American President adopted the law which placed most of online gambling games into the list of illegal things. Banks and other financial institutions of the country were obliged to stop serving online casino bets. A hundred and twenty pages enforced a taboo on having operations with credit cards, checks and transferring money as well. Not every online casino can accept US players now and that is there the problem hides its roots.
American political figures had a complex reaction as for the law. Barney Frank, a congressman, promised to do his best to return casino for USA players where it had been before. Unfortunately, so far nothing has changed.
The history of the problem with online casino for US citizens goes back to 2001. Since that year remarkable for many players and till now gambling online has been marked by the endless battles for the prohibition to accept US players as part of the world’s online gambling society. “The USA is constantly trying to put an end to accepting us, players, by all the online casinos” American players claim in their chat-rooms and they have not gone far away from the truth. It is rather sad when we have an opportunity to observe how Great Britain does the best to make online games legal and profitable business.
“Accept us, players, and we will bring your money along with us” – that is what’s on the minds of US players tired from the restrictions the Government adopts for them. Two laws against online casinos, and among them ewallet casinos, have emerged so far. But the business is still alive. There exist a number of sites which have taken the risk to accept USA players despite all the above mentioned. Here belongs www.jackpotcapital.com and a number of others. They continue accepting USA players as they had done before.
