Online Casino Industry's Good Friend
The land based gambling industry in the United States has gone from being one of
the key foes lobbying to keep the online casinos offshore and firmly out of the
US market to one of the key advocates for the internet gambling industry. US
land gambling companies had a quick about face within the past year that is
really a great boon to the Congressional efforts to reverse the UIGEA and pass
more inclusive legislation that regulates and licenses the online casino
gambling sites for the US market. It’s still a strange site though because so
many of the land gambling companies were so cautious about US supporting
internet gambling and now the industries are quickly developing as the best of
friends.
Lately there has also been a lot of speculation that the US market is on the
verge of passing the new and needed regulatory legislation that would legalize
offshore online casinos for the US market by the end of the year. With this
level of speculation and anticipation US land gambling companies have begun to
form alliances with foreign online casino companies who are interested in
prepping for a rapid and legal entry into the US industry.
Foreign online casinos strongly anticipate that the US authorities are going to
give preference to domestic based gambling companies and for that reason are
aligning and forming partnerships right now as the US Congress discusses and
debates the proposed new internet gambling regulations and there is a stronger
chance than ever that new legislation will pass through into law. |
