Where are the U.S. Online Casino and Poker Industries Heading

Las Fall the United States passed the Unlawful Internet Enforcement Act through Congress even though the Act was a last minute addition, and had no outlined plan for how to implement the restrictions the Act placed on U.S. based online casinos and financial institutions. Because of this, the Department of Justice, and the Attorney General were given a deadline for providing the financial institutions with the specific restrictions. And now the deadline is less than two months away, and the industry is eagerly (or perhaps anxiously) waiting on the specifics.

Even though many (and most) online casinos have left the U.S. market, there are still a few online poker Web sites still allowing U.S. gamblers, but once the restrictions are announced, there is the possibility that all forms of online casino and poker gambling are completely eradicated from the U.S.

Senator Kyl is primarily responsible for the anti-online casino gambling legislation, and even though new Acts and regulations are before Congress, Kyl stands firm that the UIGEA should stay, and that the U.S. should do whatever steps it takes to completely end internet gambling in the states. Kyl is frequently shown vocally supporting the legislation, and the upcoming regulations. He also recently announced on C-Span that he feels that the U.S. will be best served if Attorney General Gonzales and the Department of Justice actively collaborate on the banking restrictions.
