Will Jackpots be Coming?

The fact of the matter is that it is a new year and online casino patrons want to play. They are tired of people telling them what they cannot do with their own money, and they want the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act overturned. They want online casinos made legal and accessible to all, and they want it now.

Well, they are not alone. There are many in the House and the Senate that think that as of January 20th the odds of online casinos becoming legal and regulated are going to increase substantially. The talk that with the Democrats in control that online casinos are going to get regulated is not just hype, but will most assuredly happen.

However, when online casinos might be legal is the real question for Obama’s reign, but with the economy and the war at the top of the list, online casino regulation is probably not a big priority for our latest president. Now there are some online casinos that are still taking US players but they really do so at risk to themselves and their owners. The US Department of Justice has already showed that they have no problem arresting and prosecuting those that have online casino ties, so those that are taking US players would be smart to tread lightly.

With all of this in mind, online casino players from the US are still expecting to be able to vie for those special promotions and jackpots – as they think that regulation is pretty much a foregone conclusion. Let’s hope they are right.
