Although many online casino groups and companies have closed their doors to American online casino gamers, the popularity of the online casinos industry has not diminished. Fear has grown among online gambling fans since the passing of the UIGEA, or Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, on whether or not online casino gaming is safe and legal for them play.
One of the most famous online casino groups, which has since gone out of business, had taken advantage of its player base by robbing its loyal online casino players of their money. This was unfortunate to say the least, but many industry experts say that not all the 2,300 online casino companies are untrustworthy or ‘out to get’ their online casino patrons now that online gambling has been banned in the US.
Most of the online casino companies that backed out of the US market respectably refunded every one of their US players. It is believed that if more online casino groups leave the US market, they will do the same for their US customers. It can be expected among online gambling lovers and enthusiasts, both hard core and light, that more online gambling firms will go out of business, or at least shut down their US operations in the coming future. However, they can rest assured that many online casinos will still be available for them to play at for their entertainment and online gambling pleasure.
