I was going to play a little in some casinos (www.masterlucky.com and www.stoneageluck.com) and to my surprise I saw the message that e-gold now blocks deposits on casinos from U.S. residents (I am not).
Seems to me (please someone confirm it), that no US citizen may gamble on online casinos (at least on some, most?, of them)
Will it represent a serious blow to online gambling?

Say you are playing on Poker Stars, a site I am familiar with. You could have a neteller account and add money to poker stars. Then the government decided that Las Vegas and reservation casinos were getting ripped off because we would rather play at online casinos instead of taking a trip somewhere and spending money in the US. So now, for Poker Star, you have to get an epassporte account to put money on poker stars. Most actual online casinos will not let US players play for real money, but if you are just looking for a hand of poker, you can still play for real money at pokerstars.com

the us gov is restricting all online gambling and betting, so all related payment processors are affected to transactiongs related to US citizens.
they have to REFUSE all americans' online money transactions related to online gambling.

online casino thats use e-gold transaction mostly a scam site,such as globalgoldencasino.the best online casino never use e-gold as primary transaction system.if you like gamble online,i suggest you choose a trusty site such as casino tropez,888.com,everest casino...etc which has proof for their site.us gov did a job to block user spend e-gold on casino.
