Many Online Casinos Still Service Players in the USA, Says Online Gambling Insider

(PRWEB) October 27, 2006 -- Following the signing of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Prohibition Act into law, USA online casino players can take relief from the fact that there are many reputable USA online casinos still offering them a trustworthy, quality entertainment service.
Online Gambling Insider (http://www.online-gambling-insider.com) have been inundated with questions from concerned players in the United States over the last two months, as players are coming to grips with the new laws. "Our visitors mainly seem to be concerned about two issues," says Ryan D, founder and editor of Online Gambling Insider.
The two questions most often asked are: "Is it still legal for me to play casino games online?" and "With so many operators no longer accepting US players, where can I still play my favorite casino games?"
"In a nutshell, the first question can be answered as 'yes'. This bill does not deal with you, the consumer," says Ryan. "There are way too many misinterpretations of the new bill doing the rounds. The media is partly to blame for this, headlining stories like 'US bans online gambling' to attract readers. Many stories published in the media have created a completely incorrect impression of what this bill is all about. The truth of the matter is that the new bill deals with the processing of gambling transactions by US financial services companies. The bill is primarily aimed at stopping the flow of money, and it is anyone's guess how successful it will be at doing that. The bill is still being assessed by many different industry bodies, and there is still no single interpretation.
"The second question, namely where players in the USA can still play casino games, is pretty easy to answer," Ryan continues. "The withdrawal of gambling giants like Party Gaming and 888.com have created the impression that online gambling companies have all but shut the lights on the US. This is not true. The companies to block US players are almost exclusively those that have public shareholders to consider. They are mostly listed on the London Stock Exchange."
Ryan adds, "Although Playtech and Cryptologic have also decided to block US players, USA-based online casino fans have loads of options open to them, including some of the most reputable operators in the industry. Microgaming have decided to block 11 states in the US because of their local laws, but there is talk of some of these being opened up again," says Ryan. "Full details of the states blocked by Microgaming can be found at the Online Gambling Insider website.
"Players need to exercise extreme caution, as the new bill may see new casinos entering the market to take advantage of the situation," says Ryan.
All the more reason to seek advice from reputable portals like Online Gambling Insider. "We still back all the recommendations we make with our $1,000 deposit guarantee, which is now more valuable then it has ever been," Ryan concludes.
