Online Casino Alternatives

Without a strong regulation system in place for the online casino gambling industry there is the opportunity and chance for more unscrupulous sites to pop into the market and there is simply nothing that the government can do to effectively and monitor all of the internet activity going on throughout the US. The UIGEA has banned financial transactions with offshore online casinos and any type of internet gambling site, and then left it up to the US banks and financial institutions to actually enforce the blocks. The problem is that the internet gambling industry is incredibly dynamic and new sites crop up on a weekly basis, touting themselves as different from chance gambling and therefore legal.

And who decides this legality is the question. For a newly launching site that is clearly not an online casino site but could still fall under the blanket and vague term of “illegal internet gambling” there is no actual system in place to monitor which of these site transactions should be blocked. So some slip through and are able to process transactions with gamblers and they don’t even have to adhere to any strict regulations or controls. This is the controversial in-between world that the UIGEA in the US has created. Online casinos are not legal but they are still able to access gamblers and other sites claiming to be different are taking advantage of the enforcement issues present and inherent to the UIGEA.

Not only are the online casinos in the current US market, despite the UIGEA, but new sites are launching claiming to be skill based gaming and betting and therefore not under control of the UIGEA and federal oversight. These sites are questionable and yet there is no system in place right now to effectively control and monitor within the gaming and betting industries.
