Wallace Offers Ways Around Online Casino Block In Minnesota

Minnesotans Back Online When people want to do something bad enough, they will find a way to do it. That is the case with online gambling in the US. The unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was put in place to stop online gambling, but instead, the form of entertainment has only grown since the UIGEA.

In Minnesota, the state released the names of 200 websites that they ordered ISP’s to block from Minnesotans, and one online player believes the powers that be are in a battle they do not understand.

I’m certain they didn’t do a whole lot of research,” said online poker player and instructor Chris Wallace, “The largest poker site in the world (PokerStars) is not listed.”

The list is not the only thing that Wallace exposed. He claims he was back on his favorite poker site shortly after the names were announced. He simply changed his computer to a server in the Cayman Islands, and was right back online playing.

Minnesota’s efforts come at a bad time for the US. The European Commission has already investigated US law regarding Internet gambling and found it to be in violation of EU agreements. Further preventing foreign companies from operating in the US could lead to more trouble.

The US has been given a grace period by the Commission to correct their violations. If they do not, the Commission says it will bring the matter to the World Trade Organization for possible sanctions against the US.
