There are plenty of countries worldwide who oppose the United States efforts of legalizing online gambling and online casinos. The European Union has been quite verbal about the problem they have with the United States and their recent and ever-growing propositions to allow for US online sites to operate freely within the country. The main reason for this opposition is the fact that for a great number of years now, the US has quit successfully made the EU lose billions of dollars by blocking hundreds of millions of players from playing at any casino that is not registered in the US, thusly hurting a great deal of countries economies by blocking potential US players from their countries legalized gambling.
These days online casino players in the United States are holding their breath on congress in hopes that the bill HR2267 is approved and passed and all types of online gambling becomes legalized in the country. However, the European Union and many other countries around the world still hold a grudge with how the US has managed their online gambling laws with other places that do have legalized online gambling within their countries borders. Places like Antigua have gone as far as suing the US for their government’s stance on online gambling by not allowing players to gamble at any Antigua based casinos.
Still, the efforts to legalize online gambling in the US look pretty bleak and have major tweaking to be done before they actually become a law. In the meantime, the United States has to come up with a smart way to maintain a good relationship with those countries across the globe who have allowed for their own citizens to gamble online at any casino regardless of where it is located, including the US, mainly because most countries with legalized online gambling work together.
