Till the year 2006 and month of November, online casinos websites have increased to a larger extent that is unimaginable and simply unbelieving. It became one of the favorite past times of the American people to enjoy themselves as well as earn good amount of money from it. That year only, a Virginia Congressman Bob Goodlatte brought an act against these online casinos to ban them all and imposed it.
This act greatly affected the online gambling businesses and the online free poker games sites. It was evident through the rough fall in the cost and the share market shook. Bob Goodlatte claimed that such gaming sites are not good for the mental development of the young children and would greatly affect their thinking and ultimately, spoil them. This is though true to an extent but the main purpose of this act was to keep a constant vigil on the Online gambling organizations of United States rather than protecting and safeguarding young people from gambling. It came into news later that this very congressman too earned about sixty thousand dollars from horse racing.
Online casinos gained popularity and favors from the people because they are easily accessible and any person can play from anywhere, eliminating the need of going to casinos specially to play and the benefit of earning money can be gained from these websites too. Blackjack being a famous game also contributed a lot to the arising of the online gaming websites. For US government, stopping people from playing and gambling is as difficult and tough as prohibiting addicted drunkards from having alcohols as people became so much addicted to the world of gambling. An addicted person always finds it way out to the source which he is craving for. US government and authorities still can't overcome and ban it forever because they know more they will try and the tables will get over-turned on them.
Online casinos are a step ahead of live casinos as it can be played by people everywhere and by the people of all ages, even the young children whose entries are restricted in the live casinos. With so much advanced and latest technologies in hand, these websites have become very attractive and interactive. It is expected that the law already imposed by US government on the online gambling organizations will not last long and people, once again, will be able to play without restrictions.
