Good news for the online gambling industry. Online gambling and online poker
is getting legalized in more and more countries According to and interesting
online gambling article from casinogamblingweb: After the Unlawful internet
Gambling Act was passed for US poker site and casino players, many Mac users
found all their favorite rooms were closing up shop. In light of all the
changes Compatiblepoker decided to add US flags to casinos and poker rooms
where US players could join. The casino site was hit the hardest. There are
now only a few Mac online casino sites that allow US players. The big
problem came when Golden Palace and Casino on Net dropped their US friends.
This is where the majority of players sought Mac online blackjack and Mac
online slot games. It is now over 3 months past the signing of the bill
which made it illegal for banks to operate transactions with gambling sites.
While many have found sites which still take players from the United States
players fear this may be coming to an end. The regulations are now being
formulated on how to properly enforced and regulate the internet gaming
businesses from accepting US based transactions. The timeframe was 270 days
but many hope the US government will exceed the allotted time allowed.
Many of the Mac poker gamers are in bad shape. Some have even started
turning to PC dual booting to operate popular sites on their Mac. When Party
Poker and Poker Room stopped taking US players there was a huge exodus of
Macintosh users from these sites. Players have since found alternative sites
to play at with the new lists at Compatiblepoker. So what do
onlinecasino.org think will be next step? Will other countries start to ban
or legalize online gambling and online poker? The answer to that is more and
more countries will decide to legalize online gambling. Very big countries
like Italy, Spain, UK, and Singapore, Ireland, Belgium, South Africa have
all just decided to legalize and open up for online gambling.
