Questioning Obama's Position

President Barack Obama has not yet once publicly given his opinion about the future of the US online casino gambling industry. A lot of industry analysts over the past nearly two years have hypothesized that the Obama administration was a safer bet for the internet gambling industry because Obama’s platform included promises to stop unnecessary internet censorship. Additionally, Obama is a poker player himself and there was a certain level of assumption throughout the industry that this would give him an additional level of leniency when it came to the online casinos and the Bush-era legislation that banned and blocked US offshore internet gambling.

Since Obama took office however, there has been absolutely no information released from Obama’s office about plans for the US online casino gambling industry. That silence made some uneasy while others were willing to give the President a pass on the issue because of all of the economy and health care concerns he is handling right now. Rumors and speculation within the gambling industry right now are circulating that all of the Department of Justice action against the online casinos and the in-country payment processing are extensions of Obama’s hidden and secret polices that are in support of a closed US internet gambling market.

The DoJ seized several key bank accounts that were processing transactions for the foreign online casinos and poker sites and sealed warrants had given the US officials the right to confiscate the player money that was resting in these accounts. These actions confused a lot within the industry but still did not fully dissuade many from assuming that Obama was just too busy to publicly announce his support for the internet gambling industry. That is clearly not the case if the current information is in fact 100 percent accurate and Obama is specifically targeting the gambling money of US citizens.
