U.S. Law Shuts Down Online Casino Company

Harrods is a household name for all gamblers across United States, and even into the rest of the world. And it is no different for online casino gamblers—Harrods is a trusted name in the industry and the previous Web sites owned by this industry giant are no longer up and running because of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) the United States passed just over six months ago.

The online casino (Harrodscasino.com) was very popular among VIP players, says Kismet International. This company operated and provided software for the Web site. The online casino was closed to all players effective March , 2007, and according to the Harrods Online Casino Web site, and they players will be able to access and withdraw the money they had attached to that Web site for a little longer. Similar to the Virgin games closure in Canada just this past month, Harrods Casino closed down rather abruptly according to some; they had hardly heard the news before they out that they had to withdraws funds ASAP.

According to the spokesperson for Kismet International: "While we are disappointed to see Harrods' exit the online casino business, we respect Harrods' decision, which was made in light of the uncertain regulatory environment in the online gaming industry. Kismet will continue to operate its Red Lounge Casino.com as well as launch additional casinos."
