Gamblers Appreciate
Microgaming made some changes last month that gamblers in the UK and Europe have
really appreciated now that their settling into the new format and the new
currency. The US does not dominate the online casino gambling industry any
longer since the US government forced the gambling sites out of the market
nearly three years ago with the UIGEA. It has taken years for the online casinos
to adapt to the new changes and alter the structure of the industry but
Microgaming is one of the first to completely look at the current moment and
embrace the internet gambling industry as it is, not as the gambling sites would
like it to be. With that in mind, the US market is not open and operating poker
tournaments in this currency is no longer appropriate.
Now, the currency of choice across all of the Microgaming Poker Network is the
Euro. The US dollar has been permanently changed out of the online casino poker
site and all of the tournament figures and prizes are logged and gambled on the
Euro. Microgaming is also one of the first internet gambling groups to firmly
close the door on the US market. Although many online casinos left the US market
voluntarily several of the major software providers still allowed their licensed
sites to process US gambling transactions.
Microgaming is does not have any involvement with the US online casino gambling
industry at this point, a fact that adds security to the European and UK
gamblers who do use Microgaming powered sites. The US government is still coming
down hard on violators and European gamblers appreciate the safety of using
sites that do not even monkey around with the US market and the inherent dangers
therein.
