Playing Online: How to Do It From America

Foreword
Online gaming received a serious blow when the American Federal government passed the Ports Law banning any financial institution from sending or receiving money to and from any company that is related to online betting. But, as expected, only scared away the big companies such as PlayTech. Smaller ones either kept on operating or opened new companies with new names. Here is a list of some of bigger names still accepting players from the USA.

So how can one locate safe and secure casinos since so many sprouted up like mushrooms after the rains? Below, I will list some of the more secure gaming house where you can play relatively without any fear if you reside in the United States.

The system used for bypassing the American ban is actually pretty ingenious. Since the legal stop is only against moving cash to online gambling entities, casinos created new identities (sometimes new names), and the money is moved to and from these new identities that are seemingly unrelated to gambling. This means that one can even use a Visa or Diners Card to play! It is also important to note that some money transfer options such as Neteller and MoneyBrokers are easier to use for such transactions.

Why Should I Care?
When one of us want to play one of the many casino games online especially if we are living in the United States, then, we are faced with a federal ban. Should we just stop? Legally, yes. But, let us face it. Those who want to will, and for such people (you, if you are one.) relatively safe paths have been created for managing such accounts and online gaming relationships.

Internet Sites Still Accepting Gamers from the USA
1) ClubUSA Casino:
This internet company solves the transaction problem by using a financial setup called Wire Card through which you can move your money to and from the casino without any problem to where you are located. This online company runs on Real Time Gaming networks and as such is certified, secure and well-respected all over the world.

2) Roxy Palace:
While the previous casino was operated using Real Time Gaming, Roxy Palace turned to MicroGaming, another firm and sturdy software gaming company. The product you get is one that is not only graphically enhanced, but also includes a random number generator far superior than any other in the online casino industry.

3) Golden Casino is rumoured to belong to the online entity Golden Palace. Yes. They are the one that used publicity stunts such as buying a pizza with a holy figure on it or paying people to run topless or naked and disrupt sporting events. Even so, this new online casino has a lot to offer. They hand out a vast number of daily free awards and the number of games that one can play increases weekly.

4) Crystal Palace:
This certified safe-bet casino uses 128-bit encryption but its display is a bit weak. Though it seems live and pulsating, and though it does offer a more than decent prize offer, this casino is not one that you will leave saying wow. But, it does provide a safe method of playing from the US by naming all financial transactions between you and the gaming entity through Crystalisle Management.

5) Any casino that belongs to the Fortune Lounge group is one that any player from anywhere in the world can safely play and enjoy. Royal Vegas Casino is the top one from this group, and to those from America, still accepting US players. It also uses MicroGaming and uses their assistance in the day-to-day running of the casino software.

End Notes:
If you Google the phrase "online casinos still accepting US players" you are bound to find a long list of sites claiming to offer such lists. Neither do I claim that all those lists are bogus nor do I claim that the casinos above are completely legally safe. But, all I am stating is that the five listed are backed by trusted casino entities. If you wish to take the risk of playing online, you should know that it is against Federal Law. I advise you to desist.
