Reports in the US mainstream media are taking definite shift towards a more positive online gambling view if the latest editorial in Newsday is anything to go by.  The article lionizes the little country of Antigua in its bid to challenge the US’ introduction of the infamous Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA).

This is good news for all those online bingo operators and online bingo halls stung by lose of the US market last year when the tough anti-foreign UIGEA laws went into action over there.

Also, developments within the EU show a steady march towards a more liberalized online gaming environment in Europe with the EU’s Commission continuing to pursue France, Sweden and Greece over their domestic online gambling monopolies.

Couple this with news that major online gaming entities like PartyGaming are predicting a better year ahead for themselves, and you can start to appreciate why free online bingo industry observers are feeling we’ve all turned a corner.

while I don’t think we will see the return of the US market any time soon, it’s encouraging to note that those hurt most badly by its lose last year are strting to show signs of a rebound – just in time for more liberal laws making business throughout the EU all the more attractive.
