Various sites prohibiting US players

Categories: ,

Whenever one talks about the US online gambling, the first thing which comes to the mind is their legal constraints on online gambling. Yes, there are some states where still the online gambling is considered against the law. After having a thorough search on the internet, one can find that there are some sites which still don’t accept US players.

Currently, as per the situation the players can legally play but it is against the law for the financial institutions of America to assist them. Sometimes the players are not aware of the casinos which are allowing US players and which are not. The players can have the updated information about online casino to know whether they accept the US players or not.

With the Kentucky case which has really made an impact on the online casino and gambling world, many Microgaming Groups have stopped accepting players from US. The result was non-acceptance of the new registrations from US and not only from Kentucky.

Now, only the existing players can play at Micro gaming powered online casinos. Microgaming online casinos have restricted certain states of US because of particular state rules which exclude online gambling. This is apparently just the start of drawing out by other Microgaming groups which are still functional in US. These Microgaming groups are Bell Rock Gaming Group, Fortune Lounge Group, Colosseum Gaming Group, and Jackpot Factory Group.

There are some specific states which are being restricted like Indiana, Michigan, Louisiana, Wisconsin, New York, Kentucky, Washington, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, and Nevada. Some Microgaming powered online casinos have prohibited the players from these states to play poker but they are allowed to play in sportsbook. Though the company was out of service for sometime it didn’t lost its credibility.

Fortune Lounge Group which is the owner of Microgaming sites Royal Vegas Poker and PokerTime, had decided not to take new registrations from US. But the existing players from US are free to play on either of these two rooms.

So though the prohibiting has reduced the choices for the players, there are still many online casinos where the US players can play.
