The US online casino gambling market was from one day to the other practically abandoned by all the foreign online casinos when the UIGEA was introduced and implemented. Most companies stay away from the market, but a handful of online gambling sites have found a way to deliver gambling to the Americans and at the same time respecting the law. Some of the companies have entered the market even though they know they cannot follow the law as they should. Parlay Entertainment based in Canada has a huge interest in the US market. Their latest attempt to win market shares without breaking the law is a social network gambling initiative. Parlay Entertainment is an online bingo software developer and provider for the global gaming industry. The new launch into the social networking sites is expected to generate some profit for the company and the social networking sites as well. Facebook announced recently that they will implement a payment system that the user can utilize for different games on the popular site. This could be one of the ways that Parlay hopes to get a piece of the huge American market. The new games are designed to bring the popular games to the Americans within the regulatory framework of the USA. The online casino industry is speculating in when they will be allowed back to the American market. There has been a lot of hope to Barack Obama regarding a reversal of the UIGEA, but so far that has not happened yet. Some of the industry observers thinks that the online gambling market will be open within the next year but other are more doubtful about that and advises the industry to take other measures to get in to the US market.
