Rome Casino has some serious aspirations to cater to U.S. online gamblers, for the flagship online casino of Top Game Software has just announced it will be accepting American Express as a cashier deposit method. One of the few online casinos to even attempt to offer American Express, the news has been met with an overwhelming show of support from Rome Casino's current members.

American Express has long been one of the premier credit cards in the United States. Offering card holders benefits and protection that you simply can't find in another credit card, American Express truly does make for the perfect online gambling payment method. Using it in an online casino is like being James Bond in the Baccarat room.

Now, whether or not players will be able to receive withdrawals with their American Express card, remains to be seen. However, it's likely the answer will be no, which is why Rome Casino, like all other U.S. facing online casinos, offers alternative withdrawal methods that skirt around the roadblocks imposed by the U.S. online gambling ban - the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), which if you haven't heard already, has thus far proven to be an inconsequential and ineffective bill.

Not that you would need more money to gamble with having an American Express Card, yet Rome Casino offers all first-time members a choice of welcome bonuses suited to different gambling tastes. The general welcome bonus is worth 100% on the first five deposits up to $5,000 Free. A slots special bonus is offered to high roller slots players and is worth an impressive 400% up to $3,000 Free. Rounding things out is a Roulette, Blackjack and Video Poker bonus worth 25%, and is one of the only Roulette bonuses available anywhere online.

There's also plenty of reload promotions and cash back offers, including weekday slots and keno bonuses worth 50% free and table game bonuses 10% cash back on all deposits. Weekend bonuses include a series of 10 offers worth 150% up to $1,000 free each. And, of course, there's the good-old-fashioned Refer-a-Friend bonus which is worth 15% of all referrals deposits.
