Avoiding Payment Bans on Online Casinos

Several US states over the past several months have begun to aggressively look for ways to fully legalize an intra-state online casino gambling industry that would provide tax revenue to the state budget but not trigger the federal level blocks and bans in place as a part of the UIGEA. And while several states are still in the development and planning stages of their implementation of the online casinos, the state of New Hampshire just announced a new method that will go into effect next week and will allow the state to sell time on the state-licensed online casinos without ever taking payments through the internet. The New Hampshire state government hopes that the new system of using the state lottery to sell internet time will successfully circumvent any UIGEA concerns.

The UIGEA is designed to specifically stop online casino gambling payments between the gambling sites and potential US gamblers. The US states though argue that they have the right to offer intrastate gambling for their state residents only. And since the federal government has not shown protest to this claim and the current legalization efforts rampant all over the US states right now, New Hampshire feels that the only last obstacle would be that the banks are designing systems to block the payments from any type of internet gambling site. To avoid these bank level blocks the New Hampshire officials announced that online casinos within the state will operate via tickets sold through the New Hampshire lottery.

Just as New Hampshire residents use land based venues to purchase lottery tickets from the New Hampshire Lottery, they will now also be able to buy cash that can be used to fund their online casino accounts. The state seems to think this system will fully work and not trigger the federal officials so the system will go live very soon.
