Mastercard Block US Gamblers
March 5th, 2010Author: Christopher Cozzone
Mastercard is reported to have blocked transactions between US gamblers and foreign offshore companies. To say more, Mastercard is the first of the major processing companies to announce the blocks.
The reason why the 2006 UIGEA as not worked yet is because there ave been no enforcement policies in place to stop the US gamblers from using their US bank accounts to fund their player accounts.
Mastercard’s approach to the situation doesn’t seem to be positive at all what makes internet gambling industry a frontline issue in the US now.
