| | Excellent Online Casinos News Archive| Online Casinos Benefit from US Gambling Law | | | Publication Date: 16 Nov 2006 | | Not all online casinos were down in the dumps following the signing of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. While most public online casinos were faced with no choice but to leave the United States for distant shores and hope for the best, other online casinos were rubbing their hands in glee over the huge void that was left in the market almost overnight. If statistics are anything to go by, most of these online casinos who stayed behind, especially poker sites, were raking in record earnings.
While some of these poker online casinos initially thought of pulling out of the US market, many of them did a rethink after seeking legal advice and choosing to make do with the grace period offered to them before the act comes into being. These online casinos went to work straight away, promoting themselves as the sites that dared to stay and offering great bonuses and prizes. The country’s second largest poker site, Poker Stars, for example, introduced exciting poker tournaments for all those players who were ‘left behind’ and, according to publications, the site has come out a true winner. Many online casinos have since followed suit.
While the days of these online casinos might be numbered in the grand scheme of things, right now they are enjoying the benefits of being the only fish in the huge gambling sea, suddenly left very barren by major online casinos who had to flee when the act came into being.
