November 17 - Despite the massive crack-down on online gambling in the United
States with the passing of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of
2006 (UIGEA) into law last month, Internet traffic analysts reported a rise in
US-based online gambling webpage searches.
Online analysis firm ScanSafe Global found that even though the number of
US-based online gamblers frequenting offshore online gambling sites dropped
dramatically with the passing of UIEGA, online gambling web content is still
highly searched for across
Search Engines.
ScanSafe reported that since UIGEA was signed into law last month by President
Bush, there has been a 40 percent increase in US-based online requests for
online casino and gambling websites.
Said ScanSafe VP, Dan Nadir, 'When we started collating online gambling-related
web traffic we were expecting a sharp drop in searches, but were surprised when
we found just the opposite was taking place.
'We found that many of the online gambling-related searches involved the World
Series (which took place in October) as well as online gamblers looking to register with
alternative online gambling websites before additional regulations to
clarify the Act were put into place,' he said.
A leading online casino that still accepts wagers from US-based online gamblers
is
All Slots Casino.
