Online Casinos Face Difficulties

Two more bank accounts have been seized by the US federal government because the accounts are tied to the offshore online casino gambling. The government really began to target payment processing companies over summer 2009 and have only continued to seek out every avenue that the offshore sites have into the US market. The online casinos have continued to operate in the US market, despite the UIGEA and US ban on the activities, because of the high demand from US residents. Now that the federal government is actively shutting down all of the payment channels, however, even the most reputable gambling sites are encountering some very real problems with paying out balances and winnings to US gamblers.

The situation is really reaching a peak crisis point now that two more bank accounts owned by the Atrium Financial Group have been seized and confiscated by the federal government. The bank accounts only have to have even a light link to the online casino gambling industry and the federal government is seeking out warrants for seizures. Interestingly, as the cases become more public, more and more information is becoming available to the public. The government initially used sealed warrants to target the bank accounts linked to online casinos – this latest warrant however, was not sealed.

Golden Casino is a highly regarded US facing online casino and it suffers from a bit of a bait and trap situation. The US government under officials continually applied for payouts from the gambling site from Louisiana – all requests for Louisiana payouts were continually denied until one slipped through. That’s how this latest seizure case has been uncovered.
