Skill Gaming for US

The United States’ stance on internet gaming and gambling is confusing and has left a lot of companies avoiding any possible interaction within the market for fear of legal action from the US Department of Justice. In the more than three years since the implementation of the US’ Unlawful Internet Enforcement Act, which specifically bans offshore online casinos from the market, the offshore companies have a more clear understanding (moderately) of the specifics within the market and what will and will not flag action from the US Department of Justice. Skill gaming is one of the fast emerging sectors of the US gaming market that is largely untapped but full legal under the legislation of the UIGEA.

To that end, the Virgin Group is now making a strong move into the US market with the acquisition of World Gaming. This new acquisition indicates a that this international online casino gambling group (among so many other trades) is interested in entering the US internet video skill gaming industry. Skill gaming has unique dispensations in the US and does not flag the UIGEA blocks because unlike the online casinos, skill gaming does not rely on chance and therefore real money gaming is allowed and can be lucrative for the offering companies.

The skill gaming market in the United States is wide open for new companies and is a great way for offshore online casino gambling groups to establish a foundation in the US market and brand recognition at the early stages in anticipation that chance internet gambling will eventually find legalization in the US market.
