US Player Takes Home Winnings

Legally speaking, online casino gambling in the United States is illegal. But if you look at the fine print and the nitty-gritty details of the federal legislation banning gambling at offshore internet gambling sites, there is nothing in the legislation that makes individual US citizens culpable for gambling at the offshore online casinos. This means that many gamblers all over the US continue to gamble at the internet gambling sites that circumvent the US ban and still accept US players. A California resident got pretty lucky last week when gambling at Bodog – a very decent jackpot payout.

Kelly J hit a $141,000 jackpot playing the game Caribbean Stud Poker at the Bodog online casinos. She was completely shocked by the win and actually didn’t believe it at first. She notes elaborates on her win: “I really couldn’t believe it. I hadn’t been drinking or anything but I thought I was imagining it. I just couldn’t believe it until I woke up the next morning and Bodog called me. And then it was like: “oh wow, that really happened.” I was in just absolute utter shock.”

That is quite normal for online casino gamblers – large gambling wins are so surprising that many gamblers assume that it is a computer glitch. Pretty much they don’t want to get their hopes up – but computer glitches are rare at the internet casinos and Kelly J’s win of $141,000 is quite real. Bodog is one of only a handful of sites that accepts US players and is able to both accept funds from US players as well as then allow gamblers to effectively cash out their winnings.
