US Casinos

There is much controversy and confusion over online gambling in the US. To put things straight, there is no federal law against playing online casinos.
In 2006 The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was passed. However this does not outlaw online casinos as it seems. What it actually prohibits is American financial institutions, (such as US banks and credit card companies) processing transactions from or to online gambling companies. This law makes exceptions for gambling on horse racing, state-run lotteries and fantasy sports.
However, as this law only covers American based forms of payment to online casinos, there are still many methods to deposit at casinos. Also many of the casinos are based off-shore so US law does not even affect them. Much of the confusion has come because big players in the Industry like 888.com have pulled out of the US market. This was only a precaution after the law was passed. They have a big share market and wanted to protect their customers if anything went wrong. It now seems they will stay away from the US market until the laws are made more clear.
Ok, now we have the law sorted out. We can happily say that there are still plenty of online casinos still accepting US players. You just can’t pay with a US based bank. Credit cards like Mastercard and Visa are usually fine, as are wire transfers from banks that are not just based in the US. One of the easiest ways to fund your account is to join ewalletxpress.com, transfer money from your bank account to it, and then use this safe and secure way to play at all casinos.
Bodog Casino
Bodog is one of the biggest land based bookmarkers in the US. They still accept US players to their online casino. This just goes to show the state of the law. Why would they put their land based bookmakers at risk to run their online casino if it really was illegal. Its stupid isn’t it.
Anyway, on to the casino…all new players get a guide on how to play the games they offer. This eases you into things nicely. Then once you deposit some money they will give you 10% extra on anything you put into your account – WOW!
It is recommended to use ewalletxpress.com to fund your account as it is the most widely accepted.
After that, well there are over 75 casino games to keep you entertained.
