Website design By BotEap.comUS players are still asking “is it Legal play at USA Online Casinos?”. (USA Casinos is a misnomer, EVERYBODY Casinos are based outside of the US) It has been four years since President Bush signed the UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) bill on October 13, 2006 and it went into effect on June 1, 2010. Let me say that it’s not now, and never has been illegal.

Website design By BotEap.comThe intent of this lame bill was initially to stop money laundering, not to stop casino players from playing in US casinos. They went after “money processors” without much thought and in the process made it harder for players made legal deposits… if you want to read the full story of how this all really progressed: see the link below

Website design By BotEap.comCurrently there are more than 2,000 Online Casinos on the Internet and of those approximately 160 are real money casinos that accept US casino players

Website design By BotEap.comWhy only 160? In 2006, many casinos that were trading globally decided that it would be easier to jump ship and not accept US casino players, than to deal with pending deposit issues. The result of this was that USA Casino players panicked fearing retaliation and stopped playing altogether.

Website design By BotEap.comCurrently, there are states that have enacted local laws that prohibit any and all forms of online gambling: Michigan, Illinois, Oregon, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Washington, Indiana, Nevada, South Dakota. If you live in one of these states, we’re sorry, but you won’t be able to download, deposit or play for free at any online casino. Check the laws of your own state.

Also downloading (recommended) or playing flash is an option. Many now offer to play on your mobile device. It’s a good idea to play for free first to decide if you enjoy their software games.
