Selective Battles in the US

The United State Department of Justice has made international headlines in the online casino gambling industry because the government is prosecuting internet gambling companies and forcing primarily EU based gambling companies to pay millions in fines for gambling activity. The DoJ enforcement of the controversial UIGEA is causing a stir because it specifically discriminates against the offshore online casinos and internet gambling companies while specifically leaving wiggle room for certain markets in the US to flourish with out foreign competition. Fantasy Football leagues are one of the internet gambling sectors that are still able to operate in the US market without threat of DoJ action against either the Fantasy Football League sites or the financial payment processing companies and credit cards that are facilitating this widespread form of gambling.

Fantasy Football Leagues are hugely popular in the United States right now and the enthusiasm for this type of online casino gambling has even bled into the United Kingdom even though the Leagues are centered on American football. The newest reports out of the Fantasy Football League industry indicates that interest in the leagues has grown all over the world and an increasingly number of European companies are protesting the fact that they are not given fair access to offer Fantasy Football League betting and gaming in the United States.

This restrictive environment around the online casino gambling industry is in direct contravention to international trade policies but the US government still maintains that Fantasy Football League betting and gambling is only legal within the US. Foreign companies are blocked from the market just like they are from every internet gambling related sector of the larger industry.
