Online gambling industry stables this week
9 Nov 2006
A word on the internet is that some online gambling companies remain their usual service – although it is illegal, is of course not true. The American online gambling industry has been very timid and concentrated on making the changes unfelt as much as possible. In my opinion – it was done very well. This week a major Israeli owned American online casino bought a few smaller companies in the US and Europe – that deals with the same games, in order to use their services to operate the games – where it is impossible due to the law. This kind of move is common in this passing month in online gambling industry. It is only the beginning.
Beside the merging route – some of the major online gambling companies will be spending a lot of energy on the non traditional gaming and the non casino-related business – to keep the US online gambling industry alive and kicking. To extend what I have just mentioned: the law does not state trivia-for-money gaming is considered online gambling – therefore – the casinos can offer wagering in the US on those topics – for credit money! And on the other hand – we’ve heard that last week – a British online casino will be investing in the indie cinema in the UK. This week – an American casino will join its British branch.
The casinos have decided that this law will not prevent from the US online gambling industry to flourish. The American online gambling community is using all its branches around the world to remain successful – and till now the casinos are doing very well, on those conditions.
