Although the passing of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act has had repercussions on the online casino industry, profits at an online casino poker website of an interdisciplinary studies senior, Tyler Hancock, are nearly the same as before the ban's passing. Hancock runs this online casino poker site. The site makes its money by taking a percentage of the winnings of each player it recruits for other online poker sites.
Hancock said US online casino players dropped from 85 percent of his customers to 65 percent after they were banned from sites where they had previously played. He has recruited more European and Canadian online casino players to make up for the loss. 'My big players are never going to quit playing poker no matter what happens. I'm getting new players just by playing poker,' he said. About 10 large online poker Web sites have stopped offering service to US online gambling customers because the new law requires American financial institutions to block Internet gambling transactions.
Like all things forbidden, the online casino industry will find ways to continue to flourish and branch out, even if it means developing parts of itself into the equivalent of speakeasies. This could lead to an increased amount of fraud and unsafe online casino transactions. According to many industry experts, the best way to deal with online casino gaming is by legally regulating it so as to provide a safe online gambling experience for consumers and taxing it so it benefits the government.
