Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
Online casino gamblers in the United States are going to find themselves in
quite the tough situation in the coming months if the trends continue to push
internet gambling sites out of the market. Basically, the UIGEA has been in
effect for several years at this point, and though a lot of the major online
casinos chose to immediately leave the illegal US gambling market, other sites
staid and have been hiding payment processing paths so that the offshore gaming
companies could still payout to US gamblers. The US Department of Justice has
now aggressively sought out all of the illegal payment processing channels and
has seized millions of dollars worth of illegal online gambling funds.
Golden Casino is one of the online gambling sites that has been strongly
affected by the US DoJ’s current actions against payment processing channels.
Golden Casino announced that the as of the 1st of December, the internet
gambling site will no longer accept any accounts or transactions from the United
States. Golden Casino is one of the online casinos that faced account seizures
and, as such, the gambling site can no longer guarantee effective and timely
payouts and deposits.
The new policies at the online casino gambling site have been attributed to new
management of the gambling company, but they are almost surely also affected by
the US’s currently harsh prosecution and funds seizures. There is a assumption
that this new policy will only affect new internet gamblers from the United
States, that existing Golden Casino account holders will still be able to play
games on the site. Golden is incredibly communicative with its gamblers, though,
and will soon release more specific details about the block on new US internet
gamblers. |
