Dozens of online casinos and millions of American gamblers, confronting a new federal law that makes what they do illegal for the first time, are angry, sad and reassessing their options.
While some online casinos were quick to shutter themselves to Americans, many others plan to remain open — at least during the 270-day period the law sets for the Justice Department to establish enforcement procedures. Most of those casinos that are closing are blocking only new U.S. deposits, so players with money in their overseas casino accounts can continue to play.
