Our editors would like to make it clear to players living in the US which commonly are scared away from online gaming that the legislation regarding online gaming in the USA is as grey as it gets as it has not been made clear to what it right and what is wrong as facts are very commonly twisted in order to be in favor of financial benefits of the US government. The facts are that as of October 2006 the UIGEA (Unlawaful Internet Gambling Act of 2006) passed on during the presidency of George Bush has forced operators out of the US by applying a rule that favors their financial benefits and which disallows stock listed gaming operators to accept wagers from US tax payers or citizens which hold credit or debit cards issued in the US. This law has forced major respected European based and European stock listed gaming operators from blocking their sites from accepting wagers made by US players. Although many operators including Party Gaming had stepped away from the US market other like PokerStars have remained in the market and till this day run a start of the art poker network which welcomes US players.
