Over the past decade the online casinos underwent a great
transformation, especially in legality, but recent signs point to improving
chances of seeing a legal online casino in the USA. Many of our readers may know
the journey the internet casinos have taken in the past few years and plenty of
gamblers have certainly been affected by those changes. And even though the
legal standing of the USA online casinos remain a gray area one thing is for
sure - the U.S. certainly needs to legalize the internet casinos and begin
drawing the revenues of this move.
Unlike the regular brick and mortar casinos, the online
casino doesn't bring crime or poverty in the area built, as many land-based
casino opponents often cite when fighting the rise of a new casino in their
neighborhoods. And people who enjoy gambling will continue to do so, no matter
what. And as far as the legal aspect of the online casinos is the US stand at
the moment - a large portion of potential tax revenue remains untapped, whether
it would be by the local governments or on a federal level. People who gamble
online continue to do so, but the online casinos don't pay any taxes to the US
government (in any form), thus a large size of revenue misses the coffers that
would've potentially be used to improve many of the services people use every
day.
Fortunately, the tide is changing in favor of legal US
online casinos, which could only benefit Americans. As already mentioned, people
already gamble online, but the casinos don't pay the taxes their land-based
counterparts do. A few voices in the congress are already speaking about
creating a framework around legalizing the online casinos in the United States,
although no concrete plans have been put down on paper. Even people not
affiliated with the government directly but working at one of the legal branches
have been speaking out publicly in favor of legal online casinos in the USA.
It's only a matter of time before those words are taken down in ink and US has a
legal online casino. |
