The US government has found a new way to attack the online casino. Instead of hitting the online casino directly, they have decided to start at the source, the payment methods. The US government has realized that they have no regulation over foreign online casino sites, but they do have control over American online payment methods such as Neteller and Paypal. Why fight a losing battle when you can get right to the bottom of things with one quick motion right? Wrong! The US is yet again abusing its powers as a superpower.
US players make up a majority of the online casino players in the world. There are more online gamblers in the US then there are people living in Israel. What is the US going to say next; perhaps they will ban online payments from explicit sites? The fact is, if they can control to whom you send your money, then they definitely know exactly what you are doing every minute of the day.
As a democracy, it is the US government's responsibility to listen to their citizens. Is there not a document that states that this is a country for the people by the people? Who has the right to tell you that you can or cannot play at the online casino, and how do they justify destroying the economies of countries where the online casino is the main source of tax income? Overall it seems that US is going down a path of their own destruction, the worlds only superpower may soon see the end of its heydays!
