It Comes Down to Safety

The UIGEA has had more than two years now to come into effect and alter the landscape of the US online casino gambling industry. In those two years, despite the fact that internet gambling has been banned from the market and many European online casinos have been prosecuted, there is still a large market in the US even this long after the UIGEA came into effect. Basically, because the UIGEA was passed without its support regulations and with a lot of ambiguity in the writing, there have been no clear ways to enforce this controversial legislation. Now that the UIGEA regulations have passed it seems increasingly unlikely that the US can actually effectively restrict online casinos from the market – the ban has only managed to create an unsafe black market for the internet activity.

Essentially, most of the online casinos with decent regulations and policies and procedures in place have left the US market at the threat of the US Department of Justice. Now, the only gaming sites willing to enter the market are of a lower caliber site and the gamblers are at a higher risk for unscrupulous behaviors. US gamblers are now more at risk when they gamble at the online casino gambling sites than ever before. With an open market at least the quality gaming sites were able to take a share of the market, with a closed market only the less reputable companies are risking entanglement with the DOJ.

To that end, with the realization that the US government may actually never quite effectively block online casino gambling in the US, supporters for a repeal of the UIGEA are coming out of the woodwork – from both political parties and every religion, regulated internet gambling is looking to be the only viable option at this point.
