Players Not at Risk
The online blogging Web site, United States of Poker (UnitedStatesofPoker.blogspot.com),
has long been a primary source of information for online gamblers in the United
States looking for frequent information concerning the Unlawful Internet
Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). Though many online casino gamblers in the U.S.
thought that gambling was now obsolete, that hasn’t proved to be the case at
all.
Perhaps the most important part of the site the fact that they stress to
visitors that online casino gambling is not illegal in the United States. Many
gamblers falsely believe that the UIGEA made it illegal for U.S. citizens to
gamble at online casinos and online poker Web sites. The Act actually targets
the financial institutions that process payments from online gambling Web sites.
Basically, banks in the U.S. are not allowed to accept any transactions from a
known online gambling Web site. That means that if a U.S. player can find a way
to fund their online gambling accounts, the U.S. government has no right to take
legal action against an individual.
After a player understands that he is allowed to gamble at online casinos, the
trick is finding a way to find your accounts. Luckily for visitors to the United
States of Poker online casino information site, the blog provides visitors with
daily advice on where to gamble, and how to fund accounts.
A statement from the owner of this online casino blog, Randy Parkes, “Everyone
wants to continue playing, I receive emails daily from players thanking me for
finding them a place to continue playing poker. I just hope that this stupid law
is repealed as soon as possible and we can continue playing the game we love."
