F.A.Q about USA Online Casinos

Q. Is it legal to play online casinos in the USA?

A. Yes, the United States has a law known as the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) which deals with how online gambling institutions can accept and pay out funds to US players, but online gambling itself is not illegal. You do well though to check your local state laws before you sin up with any casino, just to be on the safe side.

Q. Why are most major online casinos blocked for US players?

A. Some online casinos have US operations, such as a marketing arm or a call center which is located in an American state like New York or California, and thus cannot accept US players. Other casinos may be licensed in a jurisdiction elsewhere in the world that does not allow them to accept US players for example Gibraltar or Malta.

Q. How come you list so few casinos? Where are some of the big US names like Silver Oak?

A. We recommend you visit our sister website “Online Slots & Casino Guide”. You will see from reading through the various articles that we have a very high and strict policy of being fair and honest to our readers. Unlike most casino websites we are not here to shaft our readers. We will therefore not recommend any website that we are in any way dubious about. We will only recommend safe, trusted and honest casinos and I’m afraid that Silver Oak and a number of other high profile casinos have far too much of a history of ripping their players off. You may get lucky at these casinos but we are not prepared to take the chance by even linking to them for you.
