Online Games: Casinos for Americans
Recently, the US Federal government banned online casinos from operating in America by making it illegal to transfer money to them through any US bank or payment system. Because of this law, most of the popular online casino networks such as Party Gaming and PlayTech left the United States. However, new casinos starting taking root.
Most of these casinos were new ventures belonging to trusted and respectable casino networks with the difference being that these new ventures were still accepting players from the United States.
The system used for bypassing the American ban is actually pretty ingenious. Since the legal stop is only against moving cash to online gambling entities, casinos created new identities (sometimes new names), and the money is moved to and from these new identities that are seemingly unrelated to gambling. This means that one can even use a Visa or Diners Card to play! It is also important to note that some money transfer options such as Neteller and MoneyBrokers are easier to use for such transactions.
Why Should I Care?
When one of us want to play one of the many casino games online especially if we are living in the United States, then, we are faced with a federal ban. Should we just stop? Legally, yes. But, let us face it. Those who want to will, and for such people (you, if you are one.) relatively safe paths have been created for managing such accounts and online gaming relationships.
Internet Sites Still Accepting Gamers from the USA
1) ClubUSA Casino:
This internet company solves the transaction problem by using a financial setup called Wire Card through which you can move your money to and from the casino without any problem to where you are located. This online company runs on Real Time Gaming networks and as such is certified, secure and well-respected all over the world.
2) Roxy Palace uses software developed and managed by the reliable software company, MicroGaming. Specific intrinsic details have been graphically enhanced and particular casino sounds have been added. This ensures your online experience is as similar to going to a land casino as is virtually possible. Their customer service is fast and friendly as well.
3) Golden Casino is rumoured to belong to the online entity Golden Palace. Yes. They are the one that used publicity stunts such as buying a pizza with a holy figure on it or paying people to run topless or naked and disrupt sporting events. Even so, this new online casino has a lot to offer. They hand out a vast number of daily free awards and the number of games that one can play increases weekly.
4) By encrypting their casino software with a newly fortified 128 byte security system, Crystal Palace is the online casino to play at if you are from American and want to guarantee a secure playing environment. Another advantage of picking this casino to play at is that all the different transactions that are conducted between you and them will show up on your credit slips as between you and an entity called Crystalisle Management, thus safeguarding you and your cash.
5) Royal Vegas Casino:
As a member of the Fortune Lounge and part of the Fortune Affiliate group, a widely and well-established affiliate company, this casino not only uses MicroGaming software but MicroGaming assists them in the day-to-day running too. This guarantees that all transactions are securely encrypted and taken care off.
Conclusion:
Although one can find quite a few online casinos that still cater to the American crowd, and although I have listed but five of these, do not understand that I am recommending these in any way. While trust and professionalism is subjective, I recommend you think very carefully if you want to risk going against federal statue and break federal law.
