Online casinos accepting US players. Present standings.
It is quite problematic nowadays to find a decent and respectable
online casino accepting US gamblers.
As you should probably know, a big number of well-known online casinos
and poker rooms shut their entrance doors for USA gamers and put a ban
on their real money gambling chances spurred by the introduction of the
US law which made illegal the money transfers from the territory of USA
to online gambling websites.
Despite that fact, you must definitely know that gambling in an online casino itself as well as in a poker room is not illegal. There are, however, roughly 12 states in the USA which have local restrictive laws in relation to online gaming. I want to make my point once again that playing in an Internet casino does not constitute an offense for US citizens.
The law itself or UIGEA just restricts money transfers to the suspicious gaming websites. Moreover, this law limits the companies and banks which offer electronic money transactions in doing so but does not forbid to make such transfers for common people residing in the US. After the above stated law has entered into its legal force the public companies with stock traded at the Stock Exchange markets immediately declared access deny to real money online gambling for US citizens.
Among the companies supporting the ban were Party Gaming, Playtech, Cryptologic, Bossmedia, Net entertainment and Cassava. The remaining online casino software providers which kept on working on the USA territory were Microgaming, RTG and Oddson (Vegas Technology). The other companies are not worth mentioning due to their lack of reputation and reliability.
The attack on online casinos, however, did not stop on that. The publically debated court trial held in Kentucky in the end of summer 2008 forced Microgaming Company to put a ban on real money online gambling for the US gamers. As a result, the only reputable casinos accepting US gaming fanatics to use their playgrounds for real gambling are casinos powered by PTG and Vegas Technology software.
Nonetheless, since 2006 within the period of 2 years one more software producing company named Rival managed to win the popularity and trust of US gamers. The Internet casinos powered by the above software became quite popular and offer extremely interesting games and bonuses for the US gamblers. Among such games there are the so-called i-slots or interactive online slot machines offering additional round presented in a form of a quest with specially designed plot along with usual playing rounds.
The lists of online casinos which accept US gambling fans are available in separate sections providing data on certain types of software or in a special section where you can find detailed information on those casinos which accept USA citizens.
One of the most important conditions for the gamers from the United
States is the choice of
payment methods. In this connection it is
worthwhile to say a few words about one of the biggest plastic card
operator

casinos have long been boycotting payments via the above company. Now
you have a chance to check out the 3 reliable and trustworthy casinos,
possessing all the required operating licenses and accepting US gamblers
including very high acceptance level for payments made via these plastic
cards. Visit the special section for more info.
