The Dollar Becomes Obsolete

With the United States effectively out of the online casino and internet gambling industries, the popular e-gaming companies are switching currencies to better accommodate their existing player base. There is little indication that the U.S. government will neutralize the Unlawful Internet Gambling Act anytime soon, so a move from the dollar to the Euro is a largely positive move for the online casinos companies. Specifically, all of the internet gambling sites on the Boss Media network now run on the Euro rather than the dollar – and to assuage any user concerns, a Boss spokesperson highlighted the benefits to both the company, and the players.

CelebPoker is one of the many popular online casinos poker sites on the Boss network that commented that the switch to the Euro will greatly benefit the internet gamblers. The largest benefit to the players is the “chance to effectively win a lot more money” because "the Euro is a much stronger currency than the Dollar at the moment,” according to a statement from CelebPoker concerning the switchover.

Boss Media made the switch to the new network at the beginning of the month, and during the transition, the company focused on creating a minimal amount of confusion and downtime for the online casinos players using sites on the network. And now that the currency is effectively switched over everything at the online casino and poker sites on the network is shown in Euros: players accounts, prize pools, and both the deposit and withdrawal process.

And though some of the network’s online casino and poker players expressed concern over loosing the ability to use the popular e-wallets, the move is largely well-received – and perhaps the big e-wallets will also consider a move to the Euro. The Poker Room Manager at CelebPoker, Linda Donovan, elaborates on the benefits to the online casinos players now using the Euro, “As most of our players currently use the Euro every day, the currency change is definitely a necessary move for CelebPoker. I am confident all of our players from around the world will also relish opportunity to play for bigger cash prizes and see this as a really positive move."
