Online gambling

There are probably many British online casino enthusiasts who are extremely pleased with the United States right now. You might think that politics has nothing to do with it, but in fact their happiness with the U.S. might have everything to do with it. You see, in banning online casino gambling in the U.S., the Congress and President have in effect put the majority of the pressure on the government of the major English-speaking country that doesn't look at online casino gambling as a crime.

This is not to say that Her Majesty's Government looks as favorably upon online gambling as it does on, say, cricket or soccer. Even so, and with the restrictions in place on online casino firms in the U.K., the chances that a firmly legal online casinos regime in Britain coming about, and then one day possibly being emulated by Washington, have grown more than anyone might have ever thought possible. All of the people who thought that online casino companies had to seek legitimacy in the United States first might have been working backward.

And so, the U.S. may very well have saved the online casino industry instead of killing it. Washington has basically washed its hands of setting up regulations that it might find favorable, so that legislators and officials can focus on matters of higher importance. When and if another country with which America shares a close partnership creates a viable online casino regulatory system that America can live with, you'll probably see online casino companies enter the U.S. again.
