A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

Ask the conservative right in the United States just why they opposed the online casino gambling industry and one of the key answers is likely going to be the danger that internet gambling poses to the US consumers. Internet gambling has some drawbacks in the form of problem gambling and an alleged increased likelihood that underage gamblers can access the sites. The danger aspect of gambling is the key scare tactic that the internet gambling opposition uses to frighten US consumers into believing that banning the industry is the only way to keep illegal and dangerous gambling out of the US market. Interestingly enough, these same conservative right US politicians who pushed the controversial UIGEA into law are not pushing for the continued seizure of bank accounts associated with offshore online casinos.

Essentially, the conservative right has made these threats that the online casino gambling industry is dangerous a self-fulfilling prophecy. All of the latest seizures of bank accounts that were processing payments for offshore online casinos now means that all of those US gamblers who were expecting payments have no lost all of their money and any method of receiving their gambling funds. The offshore gambling sites are actively working on alternative payment methods, but the danger is there now. US gamblers are now more afraid of the US government’s actions than they ever were about the gambling industry.

The US government’s actions have meant that thousands of US online casino gamblers are sitting in their homes wondering about the safety of their payment transactions – this was never such a big concern until the US federal government began to aggressively pursue the seizure of gambling related bank accounts – now they have instilled the fear. Good job.
