Basically the online gambling boom is levelling out in the UK, but is far from bottoming out. In Europe the boom is changing to intra-country licensing, and something of a boom is expected in the European facing market. In the USA however, online gambling started and stopped with the introduction of UIGEA, and pro-online gambling pundits are expecting a boom should online poker and other gambling activities be made legal and regulated again in this country. Generally speaking mobile gambling is on a growth surge the world over, but in the USA it is difficult to tell how the market will open before online gambling activities are allowed.

Will 2012 be the year for online poker and other gambling games to start-up again, or not? While we are just waiting to see; some entrepreneurs are betting on a US online gambling boom, even should there be a long road ahead. The stakes are exceptionally high, and casino moguls as well as entrepreneurs want all their cards on the table and waiting for the next draw.

In a recent DoJ interpretation of UIGEA and its connection to the Interstate Wire Act of 1961; they are saying that gambling online does not violate federal law, unless this is sports betting. The interpretation was however only aimed at selling lottery tickets online, the main thrust of which was applicable to New York State and Illinois. Casino operators and other online gambling operators jumped at the results of this report and it made massive news. Obviously online operators were keen to get back into the USA market, but were they clutching at straws? This remains to be seen.

New Jersey was in the forefront of the movement to get cards shuffling again…but this attempt was scuppered by the Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, himself. The scramble is on again to get this state into the running for online gambling, but Nevada has pipped them to the post. Democratic State Senator Raymond Lesniak believed that New Jersey had the potential to become the ‘Silicon Valley of Internet gaming,’ he knows it is the future, but no longer will this state be able to lead on this.

Major casino companies are gearing up to transition to online gambling, Donald Trump has shown an interest, and there are number of huge US brand JV’s with established European online gambling firms. MGM Resorts International has joined forces with Bwin.Party, and Trump believes that this industry is going to be a winner.

Currently experts mainain that online gambling licenses are likely to be granted to land-casinos, in particular those owned by Indian reservations will get a crack at the prize. It is also believed that people are going to be taking a serious look, and lobbyists will do well with the inside ball.  While laws are always aimed at been written in the fairest possible of ways, the casino ops with the deepest pockets always wins. It is like Otto Von Bismarck said.  “Laws are like sausages, it is best not seeing them being made.” We think there is still a long road ahead.

The knock-on effect of the US Department of Justice’, more relaxed stance regarding online gambling, has seen global online gambling businesses’ share prices soar. The chips are quite literally down, and while the DoJ has declared that only online sports betting is illegal, hopes are being raised that they mean what they say. This is the only online gambling news in the news currently, and although much of what we are seeing is only conjecture, the hitch in share prices seems to be saying it all.

According to Panmure Gordon; the new DoJ interpretation of the Wire Act and UIGEA ~ “Potentially it opens the way for gambling services to be provided from offshore.” And this is massively significant.

The apparent change of heart makes the online gaming group – 888.com one of the biggest beneficiaries. As US law regarding online gambling now appears to only apply to sports betting, this means lottery ticket sales, online poker, bingo and casino games operators may perhaps be able to ply their trade to what is deemed to be one of the biggest gambling marketplaces in the world. 888 Holdings also recently saw fit to enter into a commercial relationship with Caesars Entertainment, and this stands them in even better stead to do US business.
This upshot of this is that share prices for 888 have been flagged as a ‘buy’ and upped from 60 – 63p on the London Stock Exchange. But they are not the only online gambling group seeing their shares moving sharply in an upward trend. Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment jumped 23% to 160p; they have JV agreements in place with two Las Vegas live casino operators – MGM Resorts and Boyd Gaming. Playtech traded up sharply and William Hill perked up too.

Should the new opinion from the DoJ open the doors to online gambling fully in the USA, many of the big operators are ready to hit the ground running. Nevada is already looking at license applications for intrastate online gambling, which their State legislature has made legal. But the absolute piece de resistance would be for the Federal Government to legalize and regulate the online gambling industry on a nation-wide basis. There seems to be no good reason for this not to take place now. Although some anti-gambling (of any kind) protagonists are saying that this is a popularity pitch for President Obama, prior to next years’ presidential elections.

The DoJ decision is massively relevant at this time for the State of Nevada as their online poker regulations were passed into law last Thursday. There has been some question about the fact that the Wire Act and UIGEA could override the creation of these new laws.

We in the online gambling industry, and many players feel the same way – don’t care if it is a political popularity pitch – we care about being able to compete in this industry on a global scale. Online gambling is a mainstream industry, it is not going to go away, and the confidence shown in share prices jumping, only confirms this fact even more.

Today, online casino games are a popular form of entertainment for many gamblers around the world. However, some players, especially beginners, show some distrust about the idea of finding the best play room in which they can play with confidence. Effectively, it is true that on an online casino, you will have to proceed to the creating of your account. This is why you should tell them your personal information and bank account to let the operator of the casino to ensure your transactions on the site. Unfortunately, many players have already been victims of fraud and dishonesty from some online casinos. So to find an online casino where you can play with confidence, you must use a search engine on the internet and and also take a look on online forums about the opinion of other players about a casino and understand the views of players who have some experience of online casinos.
