Latest News From the Casino Gambling Industry

The goal of Casino Gambling Web is to provide each of our visitors with an insider's view of the gambling world. We have over 20 RSS feeds releasing news to over 20 specific gaming related categories in order to achieve our important goal of keeping you well informed.

The main sections of our site are broken up into 5 broad areas of gambling news. The first area of news we cover is about issues concerning brick and mortar casinos like those found in Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and the Gulf Coast Region. The second area of gambling news we cover concerns itself with the Internet casino community. We also have reporters who cover the international poker community and also the world of sports gambling. And finally, we cover news about the law when it effects any part of the gambling community; such legal news could include information on the new UIGEA bill that was passed in the United States, or issues surrounding gambling petitions to repeal that law, or information and stories related to new poker laws such as those instated this year in Florida.

We go well beyond simply reporting the news. We get involved with the news and sometimes we even become the news. We pride ourselves on providing follow up coverage to individual news stories. We had reporters in Washington D.C. on the infamous night when the internet gambling ban was passed, and we have representatives lobbying on behalf of the American people to repeal the UIGEA now. We had reporters at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas last year when Jamie Gold won his ring, and we have representatives playing in the tournament this year.

It is our pleasure and our duty to serve as a reliable source of gambling news and quality online casino reviews for all of the international gaming community. Please take a few moments to look around our site and discover why we consider ourselves the #1 Top Casino Gambling News Reporting Organization.

The United States changed internet gambling when they passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), so now when searching for top online casinos you must focus your energies on finding post-UIGEA information as opposed to pre-UIGEA information. Before the law passed you could find reliable info on most gambling portals across the internet. Most of those portals simply advertised casinos and gambling sites that were tested and approved by eCogra, and in general you would be hard pressed to find an online casino that had a bad reputation. However, now that these gambling sites were forced out of the US they may be changing how they run their business. That is why it important to get your information from reliable sources who have been following the industry and keeping up with what companies have remained honorable. So good luck and keep your ear to the grindstone.

The United States government has passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) and according to experts the new law reinforces what was already illegal. What was already illegal is questionable. The new law does nothing to further extend the reach of the 1961 Wire Act that forbids gambling on sports across phone lines. A previous court case was brought up against internet gambling and found that no forms of online casino games or online poker games were illegal under the Wire Act. However, there is much ambiguity over the entire industry right now and even professional analysts cannot understand where the internet gaming community stands. It must be noted that there are several individual states that have banned online gambling, and the new law that was passed reinforces those state laws, and it must also be noted that while the majority of the international community is moving to regulate internet gambling it may be illegal for you to gamble online even though you can read this. Therefore, it is solely your responsibility to know and abide by the laws of your land, wherever you may be.

The UK is the first powerful country in the world to pass laws allowing for the regulation of online gaming. By this September, gambling on the internet will be completely legal in the United Kingdom. Their intention is to invite offshore casinos, which are currently based on third-world islands, to come do business on their free land. Once the transition occurs, the UK will be in position to regulate and tax the 10 billion pound-a-year industry. Over the past year, the UK parliament has actively pursued laws to enable legalized and regulated online gambling within their territory. Taxation plans are currently being negotiated.

Other countries like Italy, who first banned all forms of web based wagering, are now moving to complete legalization through proper regulation. Spain and South Africa are following suit, helping to bring Internet gambling acceptance to the global marketplace. There are some countries, like Germany and France, who are leaning towards prohibition, but their purpose is to protect land-based casino gambling operations. However, protectionism goes against European Union standards and many challenges lay ahead for the liberal continent. At the opposite end of the debate, the United States has declared a prohibitive stance towards the industry citing moral issues as their argument, however they do allow brick and mortar casinos, lotteries, bingo halls, and horse racing tracks to operate legally on their land.
