Catering to the US Online Casino Market
A huge part of the online casino gambling industry fled the US market several
years ago when the US government passed the controversial UIGEA – the UIGEA
banned offshore gambling and gave the Department of Justice free reign to
prosecute companies that continued to operate in the market despite the new
legislation. The mass exodus was wide-spread and occurred over the course of the
past two and a half years. Just last year even more of the major online casinos
pulled their US-facing programs and software in an attempt to comply with the US
laws and avoid lengthy and expensive lawsuits and negotiations. Now though, some
companies are regretting that hasty decision and looking at the US online
gambling market with new appeal.
Specifically, Intertops.com has announced a new US facing site that holds the
strength of the long-standing Intertops brand while also offering a complete
suite of high-quality online casino games. Only a couple of the major software
development companies still allow internet casinos to accept US players, and
Real Time Gaming (RTG) is one of the top companies operating in this market.
Intertops announced a new Intertops Red Casino that is focused on the US online
gambling industry and operates on the RTG platform.
RTG is a huge software development company that offers up the largest US facing
progressive jackpots available – other site may offer progressives but only
RTG’s grow into the multiple millions. The transition to the Intertops Red
online casino gambling site is planned to be quite gradual so that loyal US
players will have time to switch over their accounts and still gamble with the
trusted Intertops brand. The same is true for affiliates, there is every
intention that they will migrate seamlessly over to the new Intertops site. |
