The fact that the USA is not keen on
having the European online casinos
offering services in the United
States is not deterring attempts in
the reversed scenario. According to
reports circulating on the online
gambling industry, some of the big
Las Vegas players are already eyeing
the online casino market in Europe.
Harrah's is one of the big names
mentioned that could soon test the
gambling waters in Europe by
creating an online casino that would
serve players from the EU. Of
course, USA players are out of the
question for the land-based gambling
giant, but the hypocrisy in the
US-EU business relations is clear.
MGM is another Las Vegas casino
company that got its feet wet in the
EU online gambling market, although
its attempts were unsuccessful.
Meanwhile
the offshore online casinos are
still having a hard time in their
efforts for legalizing online
gambling in the United States.
Internet gambling is still heavily
frowned upon by the American
authorities, although no patrons of
the online casinos have been
prosecuted yet. Still, every now and
then the US authorities would seize
money from bank accounts related to
online gambling websites, mostly
sports betting and poker, although
online casinos are not out of the
question either.
