The lack of US based online casinos is a result of the large number of litigations in the United States concerning the operators of online gaming casinos. The federal law enforcement agencies are very active in their pursuit to prevent online gaming and they have placed pressure on non gaming sites to restrict their advertisement of online casinos. Although the US can not explicitly restrict all forms of gambling advertisement, their increased awareness of this issue has led to large private companies actively monitoring and restricting their use of these advertisements. Many online casino and gaming sites have been circumventing this issue by embracing the “dot.net” marketing scheme. In this plan, the online casino or gaming site will advertise their free play site with the same domain name as their for pay site with a different extension. Their pay site usually has a “.com” extension and their free site usually has a “.net” extension. This enables the site to be listed with search engines and encourages players to have access to both sites. As the demand for the online casinois high, allowing for this provision is an important business decision as it allows people to play the games they wish to play, online.
One must think from reading the new laws about online gambling that there is room for states that already permit gambling within their borders to eventually develop a plan to allow online gaming in their territories. Although betting in online casinos is largely illegal in US, there are still several popular games able to be played via the online casino. One of the most popular games to be played is online poker. With the rise of the World Poker Tour and the celebrity status given to their winners, online poker has become more popular than ever. There are several sites offering online poker tournaments and some of these tournaments are feeders to the World Poker Tour. There are several versions of poker games played online but the most popular is Texas Hold’em. Although online poker is one of the most popular games there are several other games available through online casinos. Roulette is an option often chosen by users new to casino gaming. The easy rules and simple structure of the game make it attractive to beginners. Online horse race betting has gained popularity as well in the world of online gaming.
