This is an article primarily meant for people in the UK looking for an online casino. If you would like to play at a fair casino, then there are lots that you should stay away from. I can only really give you some advice on how to spot a dodgy casino, as if I was to list them all it would take forever.

The first thing to look out for is casinos that are licensed to unusual places, like Costa Rica for example. The only reason why a casino licenses themselves in such places is because of the flexible laws and the cheapness.

Therefore a casino like this will be able to get away with a lot more than it normally would. I’m not saying that every casino will but in my opinion it’s not worth taking a chance.

The best thing to look out for is one that is licensed to the UK and as such will follow British law. Gibraltar is actually quite a common choice and I have seen lots of casinos that stick to the rules there. Some bad casinos however are not spotted in this way so there are also other elements to watch out for. In my opinion you should play at one of the big names or well known gambling brands.

Casinos like this will be fair as they need to keep up their good reputation as they are such a well known name. If a casino that is not very well known gets a bad name they can just disappear for a while and come back with a new name. Bigger names however will not be able to do this so they are always fair from the beginning, for example Ladbrokes and Totesport.

another piece of advice I ought to give is to avoid casinos that will accept players from the USA. There are some casinos that accept USA players that are fair but there’s also a lot that aren’t and it’s not worth taking the risk and trying to find the good ones.

Casinos in the UK do not accept players from the USA as the USA has many laws against online gambling. Most casinos that accept USA players are licensed in unknown countries and are set up basically to rip off American players. With them being offshore they get away with it so you obviously want to avoid these casinos at all costs.

In October 2006 a law was enforced in the USA mak

ing online gambling practically illegal. From my understanding the law stated that money transfers from USA banks to online casinos were illegal.

There are ways for USA citizens to work around this law, the most common way is sending money to one of the countless online money wallets. Then they can send the money from the online wallet to an online casino.

There are several other ways for USA citizens to send money to online casinos but I won’t go into it as it’s not my place to talk about it. Because of the different options available to USA players it has created a lot of confusion, many people are unsure as to whether or not it is illegal for USA players to participate on online gambling sites.

There’s no question about the banks not being allowed to transfer money but what about the people who actually play, is it illegal for them to find other ways of playing? Even I am a little confused as to what the actual law is.

A large portion of poker and casino websites have decided to pull out of the USA market and play it safe and obviously in doing so their share prices have tumbled. However there are still plenty of online casino sites that are more than happy to accept USA customers.

This means there are still plenty of places for USA citizens to play roulette, poker or any other from gambling online. I personally would be very cautious if I were a USA citizen looking to gamble online and would probably seek legal advice.

I’m always suspicious about online casinos that accept USA players and am dubious about the fairness of the games. While these online casinos accept USA players they certainly aren’t licensed in the USA and are often based in scam artist hot spots such as Costa Rica.

The laws in such countries have much more flexible laws than in countries like the United Kingdom and this basically means that if they want to rip you off they can. If you’re a USA citizen and have your heart set on gambling online you should take the time to do your research to make sure you choose the right gambling website.
