I have a question as well as a response. Why are a few of these gaming programs not allowing US citizens not to gamble on line when they are the biggest market and the federal law has not passed yet nor is it expected to in the near term? Did these gaming programs do the same thing to other citizens (in Europe, a few countries do not allow their citizens to gamble online)?
Solution: Do not promote any gaming program that does not allow US citizens to gamble on line – let’s put them out of business!Put them out of business for not allowing US players? That sounds pretty Friggin stupid to me. Who are you to tell people who they are allowed to do business with?
I’m one of the thousands that vote with my wallet. Maybe if more people had a set and voted with their wallets the programs would not help the government in their quest to pass a gambling law. WHICH IS NOT EVEN ON THE BOOKS YET OR
SOON TO BE!Apart from the politics of the situation, you will see a contraction in the number of sportsboks, pokers and casinos anyway.
The industry climate is one of mergers and aquisitions, as happens in all industries that are coming off age.
You will see a few very large groups be the backbone of the industry. Smaller places will fill niche markets.
Granted, the legal situation has a huge influence on some of the places not permitting US punters. But even without that, a lot of places would and will focus more on niche markets and leave the overall market to the giants.
When you look at Brick and Mortar business, that’s how it always works.
Don’t worry, there will always be plenty of opportunities for Americans.
If they pass legislation to allow online gambling for US players do you think you’ll see land-based casinos like Foxwoods and Mohegan Suns open online casinos?
Most certainly.
If and when that happens, everything will go topsy turvy for awhile.
This legislation has been going on for years. It’s not going to happen. The government is more interested in figuring out how to regulate and tax online gambling.
The casinos (I’m speaking of the execs here in Vegas) want to cash in on the online game. That’s been the plan for years now.
If you follow politics and government, you can see a trend. States are continuing to open the door to gaming as a way to increase revenue that was previously ailing. A handful of states even have state sponsored casinos on the docket. I’m not talking about NY and Cali, it’s places in the midwest and other areas.
