U.S. Online Gambling Is Alive and Well

Chattanooga, TN (PRWEB) March 24, 2009 -- When the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act passed in 2006, it presented a challenge both to online gambling suppliers and players alike. For online casinos accepting U.S. players, it meant they had to find a way to handle online deposits from U.S. citizens. For U.S. players, it meant they had to find casinos, poker sites and sportsbooks that were willing to accommodate their financial requirements. The website, USA Online Gambling (http://www.usa-online-gambling.com), has put together an informative guide containing online gambling sites that are still operating in the U.S. as well as a list of the many secure deposit methods still in place for U.S. players.

"For avid gambling fans, it's easy to find online casinos still operating in the USA," said Tracy Carter of USA Online Gambling (http://www.usa-online-gambling.com). "Come to our website where we explain the law, how it works and where to find plenty of casinos and betting sites that are friendly to U.S. players."

Many people are confused about their rights since the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was signed in 2006. The act does not make online gambling in the U.S. illegal, but it is aimed at stopping financial transactions related to online gambling by making certain payment systems illegal. While some online casinos and poker sites have stopped allowing U.S. citizens to participate on their sites, others have come up with many easy and secure deposit methods for U.S. citizens.

Those methods are likely responsible for the growth of online gambling. Estimates show that 70 percent of all online wagers are U.S. based. Also, Americans account for over 80 percent of online poker players and participate in more than 55 percent of online gambling activities.

"For those who want to gamble in the privacy of their own home, we list only the most trustworthy online gambling sites available to U.S. residents on USA-Online-Gambling.com," Carter added. "We also list the sites with the best online signup bonuses and provide easy-to understand explanations of available deposit plans."

USA Online Gambling (http://www.usa-online-gambling.com) is the premiere website to locate online casinos, sportsbooks and poker sites that are prepared to accommodate U.S. customers. The site provides a knowledgeable review of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, and provides up-to-date information regarding any changes to the act. The site also contains a description of a dozen effective payment methods and tips on how to get started.
