Interesting Exceptions

A favorite topic in the global online casino gambling industry right now centers on the hypocrisy that the US government has displayed over the current internet gambling industry regulations and restrictions. The European Union has claimed that the US Department of Justice has primarily targeted enforcement measures and prosecution on European online casinos and gambling companies while sparing US companies that were also walking the fine line. In this case, Churchill Downs is the company in question. Churchill Downs now owns the Youbet.com product, which allows US gamblers to place bets on horseracing that is happening all over the country.

That’s a pretty controversial exception that the US DoJ is making considering all forms of online casino gambling and betting is supposedly illegal. Even with YouBet.com operating in the market, and a new similar site launching out of Nevada, analysts have gone on record stating that the only surefire way to avoid DoJ prosecution and action is to offer in-state betting. Betting at the online casino betting site that operates only within a single site. But YouBet.com does now follow this wisdom and yet the DoJ has yet to act on the company’s blatant offering of online gambling services.

Additionally, not only is YouBet in out-right confliction with the UIGEA and enforcement policies released by the Department of Justice, but by now operating as a piece of Churchill Downs, the acquisition has given Churchill downs unprecedented control over the “legal” online casino horse race betting taking place in the US.
