First hurdle to online bingo legalisation cleared
It is common knowledge that the American market was the biggest provider of traffic to online UK gambling sites before internet gambling was made illegal in the US in 2006. Americans were avid online bingo players and would often search out many other forms of online gaming and the legislation change had a massive negative affect on many casino, sportsbook and bingo sites both in the United States and the UK.
The new US Administration has been making favourable noises about revisiting this legislation and the decision made on 28th July by the US House of Representatives Financial Services Committee to approve legislation to reinstate online gambling is the first step in the right direction.
The legislation must now be put before the full House of Representatives and the Senate, and additional legislation outlining how online gambling would be taxed and regulated must be approved.
The successful transition through the first stage indicates quite clearly that a change of mood has prevailed and there is a strong surge in support for the legalisation of online gambling again.
There is no doubt that many UK online bingo providers will be watching the progress of this legislation very closely as the volume of
custom that would be introduced is phenominal and would have a massive positive impact on income and revenue.
IGaming magazine also reports that many of the UK online bingo and gambling sites have already undertaken heavy testing of their website performance and load capability to ensure that the extra traffic created would not have an adverse affect on the reliability of their platforms.
