Rooms, and Sportsbooks is Safe
Body:
Internet gambling has not diminished in popularity since
the United States passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement
Act in October of 2006, however, many people who enjoy playing
at online casinos, poker
rooms, and sports books are seeking information on whether it
is legal and safe for them to play
online from places like their local newspaper, and many are
receiving wrong information in reply.
One such question recently asked to an editor of a Miami, Florida
paper was 'is it safe to play
online', which the editor replied with the answer that now
that BetOnSports has run away with money, players can no longer
trust online offshore operators. Although it is true that BetOnSports
screwed over their players, they are merely one example of the
2,300 gambling sites online and should not be seen as the norm
of the industry.
When the gambling bill passed and London companies bailed out
of the US market, they did NOT screw over their players. The major
gambling operators, such as 888.com, Party Poker, and others walked
away gently from the US market after respectably refunding every
US player. Even the shadier casinos that are operated by Playtech
software paid out their players before they left the market.
BetOnSports was an individual case in which their executives
were arrested and detained in the US, as a result they shut down
their business and ran for cover, screwing over everyone in their
path. That is an extremely atypical case.
So to answer the question that many non-addicted regular US
gamblers who simply enjoy a bit of online gambling entertainment
every once in a while have, 'is online gambling still safe', this
author is saying a resounding 'yes'.
Internet gambling is still a competitive market where if a casino
were to cheat a player they would go bankrupt and be blacklisted
so fast it would make a dog's head spin.
