US Friendly Casinos

United States citizens – Something to look forward to

The United States online gambling industry has taken a beating in the last three years as it was declared illegal for financial institutions to process transactions for online gambling by the UIGEA legislation that was passed by the Bush administration in 2006. The law was passed both quickly and without the due diligence that the normal legislative process would demand. It would seem therefore that there might even have been a hidden agenda and sometimes people actually wonder whether or not there was not outside involvement in the process. It is already widely known that the National Football League was instrumental is seeing the regulation passed, so there is room for thinking that perhaps there were other organizations involved as well.

So online gambling players in the United States have had a tough time and have not been able to play at some of their favourite casinos. This was until very recently when the Poker Players Alliance took the matter to court and had a ruling in its favour. The alliance wanted to ensure that poker was not seen to be a game of chance but is in fact one that requires both skill and strategy. The fact that this ruling has now been made means that the game of poker is no longer classified as a game of chance and therefore the UIGEA legislation does not have application any more.

So the market is set to grow again, especially given that poker is one of the most popular online gambling games in the country. In recognition of this favourable situation, online gambling companies have begun to take steps to attract United States citizens to their sites once more. This is done by making bonuses available to them and this is exactly what the Go Casino is offering. Infact, Go Casino is offering a whopping $20,000 welcome bonus which is spread across your first 20 deposits!

This casino is only one of many that have taken these steps and industry analysts expect it to have a snow ball effect with many more online gambling companies taking similar measures soon. The bonuses are in fact quite good and perhaps speak to some sense of the desperation with which these online gambling companies want to attract new players. It does not really seem as if this is going to be a challenge, it would rather seem that the biggest challenge ahead will actually be retaining clients, because as with other industries, online gambling players can be quite fickle at times.
