Online Casinos United States - for US Casino Players

For many United States citizens the lucrative world of USA online casinos has been a minefield of red tape, legislation and missed opportunities. One lucky American who took the time to circumnavigate the restrictions on internet Casinos for the USA is Marjorie T. The Arizona native scooped over $400K after claiming the Super Slots Casino’s progressive jackpot making her the largest prize winner in the site’s history. The 3 reel game came up trumps for Marjorie at the tail end of last week and the win was no doubt a life changing sum of money for her.

Super Slots Casino is one of the most popular online casinos for the United States and offers a wide array of online slot machines, including the now infamous Pay Dirt, as well as slot tournaments. The machine has now had its super jackpot reset to a more modest $36K but it won’t take long before that amount starts climbing towards the heady heights of Marjorie’s win. The legal argument over the laws preventing Americans from enjoying a virtual casino experience in their own homes is still ongoing. Barack Obama’s opinion seems to be more tolerant than the previous President’s but with more pressing issues facing the United States it will probably be some time yet before the restrictions are lifted. When the laws are finally repealed though there will no doubt be a second surge in online casinos cropping up across the United States which will ultimately mean more choice for punters.

While The U.S. has recently banned online casinos, the number of websites open to U.S. online casino players continues to see massive growth on the internet. As one of the largest suppliers of casino gambling software in the world, RTG Casinos continues to thrive and expand despite the weak economy world wide.

The theme and graphics are designed to invoke in players the feel and glamour of Havana in its old glory.

New players will not only receive a $2,400 welcome bonus, but also weekly and weekend bonuses that are personalized to their preferred games and other habits.

Rules that would enforce a United States ban on online casino gambling in two months should be delayed by a year.

United States lawmakers have urged regulators to delay by a year financial rules that would enforce the ban on online casino gambling, due to be implemented from the start of December.

Enforcing the rules in two months’ time would put an unreasonable burden on regulators and the financial services industry at a time of economic crisis, stated the lawmakers, in a letter to the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve.

The bill, which has cost European online casino gambling companies billions of Euros, prevents firms from accepting credit cards, cheques and electronic fund transfer payments in connection with any any "unlawful" online casino gambling.

Congress passed the anti-gambling legislation in 2006, when Republicans still controlled both the House and the Senate. However, the Bill did not define which types of gambling were illegal. The Treasury and Federal Reserve expressed concern a year ago that they were struggling to understand exactly what was unlawful. For example, the bill still allowed online horserace betting permissible under the Interstate Horseracing Act of 1978.

The group, led by Barney Frank, the United States House Financial Services Committee Chairman, stated in a letter that the law enacting the new rules is "flawed" and stated the House is likely to move legislation that would officially delay the rules until December 2010.

"We also believe this is an unreasonable burden on regulators and the financial services industry at a time of economic crisis," the letter signed by 19 lawmakers stated.

Safe USA online casino gambling sites including sportsbooks, online casino and online poker rooms are taking very different actions. A few have completely stopped taking bets, a few are restricting certain states, and for others it is business as usual.

Some problems have aroused recently due to fraudulent behavior by several USA online casinos. The most commonly reported behaviors are refusal to pay withdrawals or cheating software with rigged payouts. An online casino with multiple confirmed cases of fraudulent behavior is called a rogue casino by the online casino player and advertiser community.

One commonly reported behavior related to refusal to pay withdrawals is the refusal to pay withdrawals promptly. A rogue casino typically delay a withdrawal with the expectation that the player will continue to play with the money in the account and lose it all back. There have been several recorded cases rogue online casinos attempt to not pay their customers by retroactively applying unfair terms to their house rules.

Cheating software appears to be very uncommon.

The problem with rogue casino have prompted casino gambling sites and player forums to keep blacklists of rogue casinos. The majority of these blacklists express solely the opinions of the webmaster or player rather than anything official.

One good way to avoid rogue online casinos is to check out in large player forums and review sites. Another is to test the casinos with a small amount at first.

Currently there are five main software providers that have been tested, are regulated and been found to be safe for USA online casinos players, these are: Top Game Casinos, RTG Casinos, Vegas Technology Casinos, Parlay entertainment Casinos and Rival Casinos.

The Baltimore City Paper reported that "As recounted in court documents made public yesterday in Maryland's U.S. District Court, federal authorities seized the contents of six Wachovia Bank accounts held by a company called Forshay Enterprises, Inc., saying the accounts hold USA casino gambling proceeds involved in money laundering. The move follows nine other USA casino gambling-related bank-account seizures filed in Maryland in July and August, six against accounts held by a company called Electracash, Inc., and the remaining three held by HMD, Inc.

"The affidavits supporting the seizures of all 12 accounts are under seal, so the nature of the investigation behind them remains secret. For several years now, however, the Federal Agents in Maryland have been pursuing alleged money laundering in the internet-USA casino gambling realm, and last year filed charges against two men, Edward Courdy and Michael Garone, said to be tied to the online USA casino gambling titan Bodog, owned by Calvin Ayre, a Canadian living in exile.

"Public documents available in the Maryland-based Bodog investigation show the lead investigative agency to be the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations Division, whereas in the recent bank-account seizures, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) law enforcers are submitting the court filings. Most of the accounts seized are located in California cities near Los Angeles (La Habra, Anaheim, and Long Beach), though one is in Cherry Hill, N.J., and another in Sioux Falls, S.D.

"The most recent seizure case, which was made public on Sept. 23 on the federal courts online service, PACER, involved the six Wachovia accounts in the name of Forshay Enterprises. U.S. District Court magistrate Judge James Bredar signed the warrant on Aug. 28, based on a sealed affidavit provided by Richard S. Gunn, an Anne Arundel County police detective and ICE task-force officer, who requested the Forshay account seizures, court documents show..."
