Online Casinos for US Players

Most online casinos still accept US players from all US States except Michigan, Illinois, Louisiana, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, Indiana, Nevada, South Dakota, New Jersey and New York. These states have banned online gambling completely. I have found only one online casino that accepts players from these states Golden Casino.

There are several reasons why online gambling has been banned by these states, but the real reason is that they cannot collect taxes. States with legal casino gambling collect taxes on both the players winnings and on the casinos winnings. The states always win.

George W. Bush is a great opponent of online gambling. Online gambling does nothing to support the oil industry, so you can't expect him to support it. Barack Obama is an admitted online poker player, so if elected we will probably see less restrictions put on online gambling.
