Online Casinos Accepting US Players
Due to the "Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act",
some online casinos has stopped accepting bets from US players, while many others
believe that the law is only against those US companies who make financial transactions for the
industry, the Bill did not make online casinos illegal and it will not have any legal impact
on players as they will not be accountable of any felony under this Bill, so Americans can play
safely if they use non US based electronic payment methods, such as Click2Pay or eCheck, etc.
These are some of the online casinos still
advertising themselves as accepting US players:
Cirrus Online Casino
CoolCat Online Casino
Palace Of Chance Casino
Why online casinos stopped accepting bets from US residents?
Friday October 13, 2006 President Bush signed a bill whose principal purpose is to tighten security measures for the nation's sea ports. But attached to that bill at the very last minute - in order to prevent Democrats running for re-election next month from stopping it - was a federal ban on banking institutions knowingly transferring funds to businesses or individuals that may conduct gambling operations in states and areas where gambling is prohibited.
The "Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act" goes after the money, not the millions of players, which would be nearly impossible to enforce. It will essentially try to choke off the way Americans fund their gambling habits, hoping to prevent the transfer of dollars to the popular Internet sites.
