I wanted to share with you how sites are ranked at The Online Casino Gambling Directory. In a nutshell, the sites are ranked according to how you, the users, have told me you wanted them ranked.
When browsing online bingo halls, online casinos, online poker rooms, online skill games sites, and online sportsbooks, the sites that are ranked highest are those that give you free money or chips to try their sites. Following the sites that give you free money or chips are those sites that offer the highest initial deposit bonus percentage — meaning that sites that offer a 400% bonus are listed above those that offer a smaller percentage.
When searching the directory using search terms — for example blackjack, free, or slots — the sites that are ranked highest are those that are most relevant to your search term, with sites that have your search term in their name ranked ahead of those that have it in their description. Following these sites, sites are ranked according to the rules outlined in the previous bullet, with sites that offer free chips ranked high, followed by those that offer a high initial deposit bonus.
So to summarize, sites are ranked according to what you are looking for most — relevant sites that offer free chips and a high deposit bonus. Add to this no popups, no spam, and no selling of email addresses and The Online Casino Gambling Directory is the only site you need for all your gaming!
On Thursday, April 26, Rep. Barney Frank introduced HR 2046, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act of 2007. HR 2046 will lift the prohibition on playing poker online.
Representative Frank is the Chairman of the important House Financial Services Committee. And he understands the injustice that we have suffered. When he introduced the bill, he told reporters that “The existing legislation is an inappropriate interference on the personal freedom of Americans and this interference should be undoneâ€.
provide for a study by the National Academy of Sciences to identify the proper response of the United States to the growth of Internet gambling
Horray!
If passed, the study would last a year and may provide a blueprint for how Internet gambling could be regulated in the United States. It is possible — in my opinion — that the passage of this bill would at least delay the enforcement of the UIGEA while the study is conducted.
The bill has been referred to the House Ways and Means Committee.

Nearly two weeks have passed since the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA) was signed, and here’s where the sites that are listed at The Online Casino Gambling Directory stand with respect to US-based real-money players:
76% of all sites have published or otherwise verified their policy
Of those sites that have published or otherwise verified their policy, 32% have exited the US market
Of the remaining 68% that remain in the US market, a full 52% continue to accept US-based real-money players from all states, while the remaining 16% accept US-based real-money players that do not reside in states that have specific online gaming bans on the law books (IL, IN, LA, MI, NJ, NV, NY, OR, SD, WA, WI).
While the UIGEA has certainly limited the number of online gaming options available to US citizens, it has not even come close to eliminating all options. As of this writing, US-based real-money players from all states can still choose from:
Yesterday, Firepay announced that they will decline purchases at gaming sites from US players starting with the day that Bush signs the “Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006″. Furthermore, ten days following the signing of the Act, they wll decline any transfer from gaming sites to US-based Firepay accounts.
My advice is to withdraw all funds from all gaming sites for which you used Firepay to make your most recent deposit — since gaming sites generally refund back to the deposit source before any other source (such as Neteller). Once all of the withdrawals appear in your Firepay account, withdraw the funds from the Firepay account to your banking account; you should try to make only a single withdrawal since Firepay charges a $10 fee for withdrawals.
