The time is now here for the customers from one of the most popular online casinos to mourn the loss of one of their all-time favorite hangouts. It seems that as of December 1st, the widely popular Golden Casino has stopped accepting players who happen to reside within the United States. This comes as quite a blow to players who have already received enough rejection and censure for one entire lifetime.

It is even harder to take when it comes from one of everyone’s favorite online casinos and Golden Casino has been on the top of everyone’s list for some time now. It seems that this all came about due to the fact that Golden Casino has been bought out by another company and that company wants to play it extremely safe and not put itself I jeopardy in terms of defying the laws that are in place right now for American internet casinos. So far word has not gotten out as to the name of the company that has bought up Golden Casino but it is only a matter of time before that news is released to the general public.

This comes at an already difficult time for American players who have come upon some seriously challenging times thanks to the current endless economic recession. And with the holiday season now upon us as well, people are looking for ways to feel good about life and this rejection from Golden Casino does not help the matter. They have tried to make this transition as smooth as possible for all of the players who still have their funds deposited in accounts associated with Golden Casino and I am confident that there will be few if any problems with people getting their money back.

With the new year now fresh upon us, it feels like anything can happen. All the possibilities have been opened to us. That feels especially true for everyone who is involved in the online casino industry. With the Bush Administration about to vacate the premises, things could change in drastic and extremely positive ways once President-elect Barack Obama steps into the White House with Michelle and their two daughters. This will be the year when the fate of online gambling will be determined once and for all. How will the government choose to regulate the industry? No one knows yet what will happen but many people are very hopeful since there are still a great many online casinos that are operating in the United States online gambling market.

This hope is also good news for any players who reside within the United States because it means that some of their favorite casino sites such as Rushmore and Lucky18Casino will still be accepting players in America. But unfortunately, along with that good news comes some bad news too. With the new year now upon us, it seems that the awarding of big jackpots at these casinos has slowed down dramatically since the beginning of 2009, especially for American players.

Out of the past 29 jackpots that have been hit by players at online casinos, not a single one of them happened at a casino that still accepts players who live in the United States. But this is not all bad news since those casinos that have not had their jackpots hit are still growing bigger with even more money waiting to be won.
