Online Gambling’s Chances In US

To keep their businesses in the black therefore, land-based casinos are seeing the logic in going online too, especially when considering that the US has the highest concentration of online gamblers in the world, despite the government’s best efforts to keep them away from this pastime. These big businesses are pushing to get rid of these legislations and quite surprisingly, it is a US senator that is leading this battle, namely Senator Harry Reid.

Up until now, the owners of land-based casinos have also been against online gaming, seeing it as another way in which their money is being taken away, but now, they are turning their backs on the idea that online is not the best way to go. Because the economy has been down and players can no longer afford to go to casinos, these places of business have been losing a lot of revenue. Now, the owners of these online casinos are doing their level best to keep players playing, something they are noticing can only be done by offering a solution that is instantly accessible, such as online or mobile gaming.

However, there are some problems that these businessmen and women still face, one of which includes the retirement of a long time online gaming supporter, Barney Frank. Add to this the point of view of other senators, such as Barney Frank, who do not support online gambling, and you have an industry poised on profit but without the means to grab it. Whether these casinos will be able to take their business to the virtual space or not remains to be seen, but one thing that is for sure is that the government is not going to take the decision lightly, nor will they make it easy for casinos to take their business online.
