Rushmore Casino is going out of their way to help USA bettors
Anyone who has wagered real money online before the UIGEA went into effect last year – and certainly before the the UIGEA was passed into law when the likes of Microgaming casinos were doing business with U.S. bettors – can attest to the difficulties US-friendly online casinos are now faced with in getting deposits and withdrawals speedily processed.
Anyone who is not familiar with the way things were, just know that the UIGEA is in no way a direct reflection of the online gambling industry. Protectionist legislation cloaked with “family values” that was underhandedly attached to a must-pass security bill, (which many a U.S. Senator did not know was attached to the larger bill), the UIGEA was later referred to as “the stupidest law ever passed” by Congressman Barney Frank and other members of Congress who were able to later take a closer look at the UIGEA.
All that the UIGEA has done has given U.S. banks and the private sector of the financial services industry a massive headache, not to mention many an online casino and player. It certainly hasn’t deterred U.S. citizens from playing at internet betting sites. It has, however, scared off many a reputable software developer, casino operator and third party eWallet. In fact, with the exiting of eWalletXpress last October from the U.S. market, there simply are no more “alternative” credit card payment methods for U.S. bettors. The good news is that the industry is constantly reinventing itself (as it always has). Just when one payment method goes away, another seems to pop up.
So how does one keep up with all the changes facing the U.S. online gambling industry on a daily basis? Well, reputable gaming affiliate portals, such as Your’s Truly, are a good start. Affiliates are just like players. Heck, many of us ARE players. And just like players, affiliates want to get paid. If player’s don’t get paid, affiliates are not going to see their money. It’s a good formula for mutual self interest.
If we were to take one more step down the line, CasinoAffiliatePrograms.com (CAP) is doing a great job keeping OCS and other reputable affiliates abreast of these changes. CAP recently published a list featuring the best converting U.S. facing online casinos; In other words, those casinos that have the best track record getting deposits and withdrawals readily processed.
