More and More Online Casinos Accepting US Credit Cards

The October 08, 2009, By Zane Plate

Before the passing of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) in 2006, funding your online casino bankroll using a US credit card was no problem at all. online casino news: More and More Online Casinos Accepting US Credit Cards

However, after the UIGEA was passed it became virtually impossible for online casino players in the United States to make deposits using credit cards, let alone play online casino games for real money at all.

In recent years, online casino players have had to rely on bank transfer or online e-wallet services like Neteller and Moneybookers to make deposits. It was next to impossible to find an online casino that served US players and accepted credit. Things are changing, as offshore casinos that are fully regulated in the United States are beginning to publicly accept credit cards from US players. The fact that these casinos are fully regulated means that in addition to accepting credit they are also proven to have fair odds and safe and secure servers and cashiers.

It is still next to impossible to find an online casino that accepts American Express, as there are very stringent rules against AMEX deposits for the purposes of gambling, most other US credit cards can be used in online casinos. Visa, MasterCard and Discover are all frequently accepted these days at online casinos where United States casino gamers play.

As more and more online casinos are finding ways to open up to the US public and US credit cards are being accepted, could it be that the UIGEA may be coming to an end?
