Yes, It's Still Legal to Gamble at the Online Casino in the USA!!
16 Nov 2006
The media is going wild over the recent signing of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Prohibition Act into law in the United States. Headlines scream: "Online Casino Banned in the US" and there are hundreds of different interpretations doing the rounds regarding the true legitimacy of gambling at online casinos in the country. With so many different versions from so many sources, the average American can't be blamed for being slightly confused about the future of the online casino and how the new law affects him or her.
The truth is that the Unlawful Internet Gambling Prohibition Act does not deal with the gambler, or in other words, the consumer at online casino. What the new law does deal with is the processing of gambling transactions at online casinos by US financial organizations. Although the politicians who pushed for the bill hoped to do away with the online casino in the US once and for all, they only managed to stop the flow of money from banks and financial institutes. The law does NOT specify that it is illegal to gamble at these sites.
The bill concerning the online casino is still new and everybody in the gambling industry is still trying to get their heads around it. Legal interpretations of the law are flying back and forth between experts and analysts and no one person can safely say that they understand the bill altogether. The one sure thing however is that it is still legal to gamble at online casino sites - players simply need to be a little more creative with their payment methods.
