American Players Have Easy Access To Legal Sites
A list of online casinos still accepting US players has been published by PressMyBet.com, allowing those Americans frustrated at the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act to seek out their riches legally.
However, PressMyBet.com have provided a helpful list which includes reviews and information about dozens of sites still accepting US players, including more than 20 online casinos.
PressMyBet also give information about casino playability, deposit methods and accessing monies, as well as details and reports about bonuses, jackpots and other promotions.
The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 has been met with protest by many professional and amateur gamblers alike.
In the run-up to the US Presidential elections, Senator Barack Obama has strongly hinted he feels voters should decide whether or not they can gamble. Senator Obama represents the US Democratic Party, the main rivals to the Republican Party who passed the act in 2006.

While I don't care for Obama in other issues, I must say he is right on the money with this one (no pun intended). If it's legal for me to go blow thousands in AC or Las Vegas, it certainly should be legal for me to play poker online. Kudos to PressMyBet for making this available to those of us who still want the freedom of choice to be made by us, not our government.

I would imagine the argument against allowing US citizens to gamble online is one of where the cash ends up. We all know the average player is losing more money than they are winning and the government wants that to end up in their pockets, not those of another country. I do agree we should be able to decide for ourselves, we are after all adults, but allowing US gambling based sites would help get rid of some of the possible arguments against it.

You've got a point there, purple. I think it does come down to the bottom line, not protecting the people. the government needs to spend more time tracking down online predators and less time worrying about where we gamble with our money.

Obama has a point that it should be left up to voters. I would rather see it done legally than people trying to get around the Gambling Act and doing things they really shouldn't be.

I think Obama has it right. The choice to participate in online gambling should be just that - a choice. If he is elected we'll see if he actually does anything about it.
