If you are a United States Citizen, you know that due to the new laws, it has become very difficult to find online casinos that will accept U.S. gamblers. It is even more difficult to find online banking companies that will service U.S. citizens. But people still want to gamble, and they will find loopholes in the system to have that opportunity.
Many people are angry, stating that these laws are infringements of our constitutional rights. But until authoritative figures care to realize this, U.S. citizens are forced to find ways to get around these imposing restrictions.
Online Casinos that are rejecting participation from U.S. citizens have suffered a 60% drop in stock. Examples of these casinos are Party Gaming and Cassava Enterprises. To date, these online casinos still forbid U.S. gamblers, but they most certainly miss the revenue.
Luckily, there are still a number of online casinos that continue to accept U.S. citizens, such as Poker Stars and Bodog. Good for them! It is not the fault of the individual that the U.S. Government is more concerned about taking away our rights than protecting them. Thank you Poker Stars and Bodog!
It is even more difficult finding a payment method that will allow U.S. transactions for online gambling. For the most part, credit cards are no longer an option. Even some of the best and most popular online banking companies, such as NETeller and FirePay, are rejecting business transactions from U.S. citizens. No, don’t throw your hands up in the air just yet. There is a way.
You can log-on to giftcards.com. Here, you can purchase one or more gift cards at a $500 limit. Simply email it to yourself. When this comes through, call giftcards.com to confirm your information with them. Once your identification is verified, they will send you an email. Within this email, there will be a link where you can view your Virtual Visa gift card and the necessary information (card number, security code, and expiration date).
Now, you are ready to gamble online. Most online casinos will accept this payment method, so log-on and use your gift card to play any of your favorite games.
