The last years became a very difficult period for economics all over the world. USA is not exclusion. The influence of crisis can be seen in each branch of industry, particularly in gambling business. The decrease of gamblers and their financial opportunities leads to profits decrease, though the most part of casinos is ready to accept us players. An essential rise in prices for products of daily demand, fuel, a collapse of stock markets in the USA, reduction of workplaces – all it forces people to leave less means for entertainments.

In such difficult economic conditions, casinos are compelled to make new programs, to think over various profitable promo-actions. Some casinos offer tempting and original bonuses for clients’ attraction. For example, the casino in Florida is ready to present to the winner a real flight in space. But not always such offers can involve fans of gambling. Considerable losses have incurred such known casinos, as Las Vegas Sands Corp (its profit was decreased by 30 %), the loss of Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. average 40 %, Ameristar Casino Inc. lost it not less than its rivals. All this is connected with shortage of accepting USA players.

On the other hand all the online casinos accepting us players have another important problem. The Presidential Administration of the United States of America has approved a law on the assumption of which many kinds of gambling in the Internet become illegal. Thereby online casinos will lose support of their rates in banks and other financial institutions of the state and by that way won’t be able to accept USA players.

The relations in this field will be regulated by “The Act about illegal gambling on the Internet» which became operative since December, 1st, 2009. All the gambling actions with credit cards, wire transfers of means and checks will be forbidden. The first attempt to forbid an online casino has been undertaken in the USA in 1999, however then the Senate has not passed it. A new version of the law forbidding banks to transfer means from personal accounts to the online casino accounts was approved by the Congress in 2006. Nevertheless this law has a lot of vagueness, and nobody is satisfied: neither casinos which don’t want to lose the clients but on the contrary to accept more US players, nor gamblers for whom online casinos are rather convenient. Furthermore, the banks suffer damage as well: exactly they will have to interpret the law in each concrete case and estimate the game.
