Can US Players Still Play their Favorite Games at Online the Casino?16 Nov 2006 Be it because of the influence of the media or a general fear-factor – the bottom line is that many US players might get the impression that their local industry has been left bone dry and void of all online casinos. Many desperate players are emailing gambling portals, begging for more concrete information about where they can find their favorite games now that there are ‘no more’ online casinos in their country. These players feel that all the major online casino operators have blocked US players and therefore there are no more options left.
Players might be forgiven for the thinking that there are no more opportunities to gamble at the online casino. Major online casinos such as 888 and Party Gaming have left the scene, creating the impression that all is needed is a sign saying, “Will the last online casino operator please shut off the lights”. However, the gambling scene is not half as dismal as it may seem in the United States. All those online casinos that have blocked US companies are publicly listed on the London Stock Exchange and therefore have public shareholders to answer to.
Some of the most reputable online casinos are hanging around in the United States and have vowed not to go anywhere until the Unlawful Internet Gambling Prohibition Act has been clarified for them. The online casino industry is extremely unsteady at the moment and nobody knows what will happen in the next week or month. Many online casinos feel that it would be simply foolish to take drastic steps to pull out of entire market and many are staying put. With all that said and done, it is clear that there are still plenty of options available to US online casino players.
