US Casinos

For U.S. online gamblers these days, betting options are more limited than they used to be. The good news is there are still a handful of regulated, reputable offshore online casinos accepting bets from U.S. players and successfully and safely processing financial transactions.

Now that U.S. States are taking up the reigns of enforcing their own laws regarding online gambling, depending on where you live in the U.S., your selection of online casinos will vary. Look in the "Excluded States" column in the chart above to determine which casinos you are eligible to play at. If there are no exclusions, all U.S. citizens are eligible to gamble there. This is simply based on the policy of the online casino, since some State laws are more explicit than others.

Here amongst our selection of U.S. online casinos, we feature sites that not only operate an open door policy toward U.S. players, we ensure each of these casinos are successfully doing so as well. In other words, just because an online casino permits U.S. citizens to open accounts does not necessarily mean they will be able to efficiently process financial transactions on behalf of the player. The intent of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act is to prevent U.S. citizens from gambling at internet betting sites (aside from carve-out protected U.S. horseracing and fantasy sports betting sites). The way in which the government seeks to implement this is by blocking financial transactions; hence, the Neteller shakedown.

At this stage, all third party payment processors have been taken out of the picture. The way in which the above online casinos are now successfully processing transactions by U.S. players are by one of three ways - credit cards, bank wires and checks. All three of these methods can be used to efficiently and safely make deposits and withdrawals at all of the U.S. facing online casinos listed above. While credit cards are by far the fastest method, bank wires (which take a few business days) and checks (taking up to two weeks) can be used to fund accounts and receive payouts if credit card transactions happen to be declined.

U.S. players who are actively gambling at legitimate online casinos advise to first open an account online and attempt to make a deposit with a valid credit card. If the credit card does not go through, players are advised to make a bank wire while logged into the software platform, which is explained and facilitated in the Cashier, or to contact customer service for the processing of deposits over the telephone or by email.
