Only 44 of the 200 casino gambling Web sites that Minnesota's Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division want to block from its residents actually accept players from the state, according. That means just 22 percent of the sites AGED wants to block affect Minnesota residents.
Last week, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division (AGED) announced that it had instructed 11 national and regional telephone and Internet service providers to prohibit access of all Minnesota-based computers to nearly 200 online gambling websites. On Friday, the AGED released the list.
Of the 44 online casinos USA, only eight are listed on Online Casino City's Top 25 casinos available to U.S. residents (Bodog, English Harbour, Slot Land, Club Player, Las Vegas USA, Slots Plus, Slots of Vegas, Caribbean Gold Casino). Other prominent names on the list include Full Tilt Poker, Everest Poker, Golden Palace, Intertops Casino, Ladbrokes Casino, Titan Poker and William Hill Casino.
AGED Director John Willems defended the Minnesota list saying that it was a "random sampling" of sites. But Interactive Media and Entertainment & Gaming Association (iMEGA) Chairman Joe Brennan Jr. questioned "how much thought was put into the selection of these sites."
