Is a UIGEA Rebound Taking Place? (3 of 3)

Lasseters’ parent company chose to not take the initiative to fund an immediate shift over to the European market, which would have been undoubtedly expensive, but could have given the company a foothold in the competitive market.

Some of the biggest WINNERS of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act have been internet gambling fans living abroad. The European gambling market had already been host to several top-quality and very enjoyable online slot machine and casino gambling sites before the American shakeup. The legislation has flooded the international playing world with a myriad of new casino competitors putting it all on the line for a shot at some appreciable market share. The European Commission really came through for these former American sites when they took the energy and time to completely open the market to these newcomers, and everyone has benefited. Greater competition between casinos means amazing things for players – more bonuses, bigger sign-up incentives, and a wider selection of cutting-edge online slots and casino games.

Those sites that have best come away from the UIGEA are those that offer players something a little different for their money. “Diversity” has become a major keyword in the new internet gambling industry, and those that have risen to the top of the highly-competitive business are those that have embraced the concept and really explored what it means. From new social networking opportunities to the coolest online Bingo titles, from players club perks to weekly and monthly online slots tournaments, the most-successful sites are those that offer something for everyone!
