When you go to a well known department store and purchase something ,you walk out knowing that you have bought from a legitimate business who would never risk their reputation to scam you or make a couple of quick dishonest pounds out of you or any of their other customers. Unfortunately the same cannot be said with all online gambling companies. These sites are faceless and can set up gaming sites, defraud customers, disappear into oblivion leaving you without your winnings or even your bankroll, then go get a new web address and start the process all over again. To do this some ‘companies’ can even copy to the letter, as best as they can, other more popular sites , with an almost identical URL ? therefore a lot of the time players who use the genuine site may by typing a single error, end up playing on the fake site without even realising they are doing it.

Online casinos scams are rampant especially since some of the more prominent establishments have chosen to pull out of the U.S. market even though there is no specific law stating it is illegal to gamble on line. The only law which has been passed in the states made it illegal for banking istitutions to knowingly allow gambling transactions on line unless it is for the horse races or state lotteries. They were given a pass on this law likely due to the fact that both have a lot of pull with Washington. In the case of the horses, they contributed to the Senator’s who pushed the UIGEA (unlawful internet gambling enforcement act) through on the last day of the session while riding on a homeland security bill which was sure to pass.

It was enough along with a few arrests of casino owners who were taken into custody while changing planes in the states to push many reputable online casinos out of the picture which of course made room for some very unscrupulous gaming sites to move in. This resulted in only making matters worse for players if that was ever truly the concern of senators who were behind the UIGEA. It is hard to tell what exactly was their reasoning behind pushing the law unless of course it was about the money they weren’t getting to tax but so far they have stood on just about everything else from money laundering to supporting terrorist activities to playing the moral card but that latter only puts those who play it in a hypocrytical light because of the exceptions allowing horse betting and lotteries.

There are still however plenty of reputable online casinos available for players in the states although that number is greatly decreased if you live in one of the eleven states which Microgaming powered casinos are not allowed to serve. This a policy adopted by the parent software company who provide the games to many of the best online casinos in the world. Certainly these casinos also have the best reputation of all online gaming and as such, to lose their entire network takes a lot away from the percentage of quality choices for those living in one of these eleven states:  Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, New York, New Jersey and Wisconsin.
Although those living in one of the eleven banned states are most likely to fall victim to unscrupulous online casinos and the scams they run, they are certainly not the only ones at risk. Look for online casinos listed at trusted gambling guides and casino portals for your best chance at avoiding trouble because you add an extra entity into the recipe that has more clout with the casino than anybody else, providing this is a reputable casino portal which cares about its readers and where they send them. Make sure that gambling guide has contact information that is working so you can contact them if you have trouble as they will have much more clout with the casino than any one player due to the fact they represent so many players both present and future.

It all began in 1994 on Antigua Barbuda in the West Indies, the home of gambling licences. This is still an online gambling Mecca with most online gambling companies still based in Antiqua in order to take advantage of this licence.

Before the games could begin gaming software needed to be put into place in order for the online casino revolution to begin. This was where the Isle of Man becomes an important place and the company Microgaming, the god fathers of the first fully operational inline casino software, leading the way for many other online gambling sites.

In 1995 Cryptologic was founded with a goal to develop a series of software packages that can securely and effectively process transactions to keep online gamers safe.

When I was young, so many years ago I can hardly remember, gambling was so much easier. You either got in your car or on an airplane, and went where people were playing casino games for real money, or you asked around and found out where the floating games were for that night. I guess when I was starting out, the illegal kind was always more exciting until you got to know everyone — then it was down to a routine. After that, going to a real casino had the edge. But everything loses its shine eventually. Then along came the internet with a whole lot more freedom. Although when you look around today there is a whole new bunch of casinos opening up, nothing really beats the convenience of sitting at home and playing your way through games in comfort. Yet, there is a “crackdown”. The US has been legislating. This has produced international litigation with Antigua taking action against the US. This is more action than you see in some casinos. I suppose some of the motivation for regulation is the sense that online gaming is not regulated. Go into any real world casino, and you should always be “safe” — except from your own gambling habit, of course. There are security cameras everywhere making sure no-one is going to cheat you. Regulators check the slots to make sure they are all working properly. Once you are online, there are no external eyes looking after you. You have to protect yourself. Except you do not know who the company is behind the online casino. Another explanation for the US Government’s action is protectionism — that too many online dollars means less profit for the real world gaming establishments in the US. So why should anyone want to play online? All you have are a few animated versions of the casino games that lack any sense of physical involvement. Worse, some of the games just are not the same. For example, thanks to the random number generator, counting the cards in online blackjack is a waste of time. But because the overheads for running an online casino are significantly less than the real world equivalents (paying salaries to all those countless people is not required), the online payout schedules are more generous. Online operators can afford to return more of the stake money to the players and still make a good profit. This means you get better odds on the slots and at the roulette table than you would in the real world. But even more importantly, once you are online, you can switch games at the click of a mouse. You no longer have to wait on other players or croupiers. There is always another game ready to play. Because you do not have people looking over your shoulder (and judging you), you have more freedom to learn new games or try out different strategies without people getting impatient with you. And finally, you can get free money. In the real world, you can get drinks, food and, sometimes, accommodation comped. Online, the only thing the casino can give you is a credit of money. So does that mean online gaming is a “good thing”? The only thing wrong with it is that it is too easy to play. There you are at home or sitting in a hot spot with your wifi laptop and there is no-one to tap you on the shoulder to warn you that you are riding a losing streak into bankruptcy. But, so long as you have your gambling under control, you say when, where and how long you play. What can be better than that?
