Breaking the US Ban: Why And How

By: J Reider

Foreword
Online gaming received a serious blow when the American Federal government passed the Ports Law banning any financial institution from sending or receiving money to and from any company that is related to online betting. But, as expected, only scared away the big companies such as PlayTech. Smaller ones either kept on operating or opened new companies with new names. Here is a list of some of bigger names still accepting players from the USA.

Most of these casinos were new ventures belonging to trusted and respectable casino networks with the difference being that these new ventures were still accepting players from the United States.

The system used for bypassing the American ban is actually pretty ingenious. Since the legal stop is only against moving cash to online gambling entities, casinos created new identities (sometimes new names), and the money is moved to and from these new identities that are seemingly unrelated to gambling. This means that one can even use a Visa or Diners Card to play! It is also important to note that some money transfer options such as Neteller and MoneyBrokers are easier to use for such transactions.

What Difference Does It Make to Me?
Yes. There is a law. But what are those who loved playing online supposed to do? Are they to stop just because of someone in the Senate thinks that online casinos are linked to terrorism? Anyway, there will still be those that decide to play anyway, and it is for those renegades that the following list serves.

Casinos that Allow American Players to Take Part
1) ClubUSA Casino:
By offering software created and professionally managed by Real Time Gaming, one of the most trusted names in the gaming software industry, this online casino uses Wire Card to conduct all its online banking transactions with you. They also offer a nice and hefty seven hundred and fifty dollars free for playing.

2) Roxy Palace:
While the previous casino was operated using Real Time Gaming, Roxy Palace turned to MicroGaming, another firm and sturdy software gaming company. The product you get is one that is not only graphically enhanced, but also includes a random number generator far superior than any other in the online casino industry.

3) Golden Casino:
Hands out a voluptuous 555 dollars to every new player and also offers new casino games that you will not be able to find in other such game entities. I have even heard rumours that Golden Palace is behind this venture, but I cannot confirm this. The games offered are also quick running and the download of the software from this online casino is super fast.

4) By encrypting their casino software with a newly fortified 128 byte security system, Crystal Palace is the online casino to play at if you are from American and want to guarantee a secure playing environment. Another advantage of picking this casino to play at is that all the different transactions that are conducted between you and them will show up on your credit slips as between you and an entity called Crystalisle Management, thus safeguarding you and your cash.

5) Royal Circus:
This is one of the few casinos where you can use your Visa or MasterCard without any problems. You can, of course, also use FirePay or Neteller, but even a regular credit card will work. They are also one of the few online casinos that offer a weekly chance to win a trip for two to Las Vegas.

Afterword:
It is not difficult to find an online casino that is willing to let you play there even if you reside in America. But, the problems might occur when you try transferring money to and more importantly from it. Preventing your hard-earned money from returning to your account is what this article hopes to guarantee by helping you select those casinos that allow such transactions to take place. In any case, I suggest that you prefer the casinos situated locally and that are legal than trying to bypass any American law especially since it has been passed by the Federal government.
