Since the beginning of the development of online casinos accepting USA players the expansion of the Internet gambling by the 1998 has been so sizeable that it began to attract attention of the USA lawmakers. At that time Republican senator from Arizona, John Keel, created the first of his bills which banned online casinos that were aimed to accept US players. Prohibition Act was directed against selling gaming services and products intended to accept USA players. However, the bill did not issue and online websites accepting US players continued to prosper. During 1998 both companies the Boss Media and Starnet successfully sold their licenses on the game software to the independent operators of online casinos.

Canada had also begun to block the industry development. For a long time the government initiated police operations at the offices of the Starnet located in Vancouver. Royal Police believed that e-mail server of the Starnet based in Canada and, hereby, it led to the existence of the illegal game on the territory of Canada which wasn’t allowed by the Canadian Criminal Code. Later the Starnet was fined 100 thousand dollars for the company complicity in online gambling services aimed to accept us players.

Meanwhile, Senator Keel revised his Prohibition Act which was unable to be issued by the USA Congress once again. The Act was amended a third time by Republican Bob Goodlatte but it didn’t collect more than two thirds of the US House of Representatives.

At the same time the Government of Australia provided own law concerning the online casino industry. In 2000, the Federal Government of Australia issued a bill that banned functioning of any online casino on the Australian territory after May, 2000. Although few proposals of allowance of sports betting and horse racing were made, the Government banned online bookies to offer their services to Australian citizens.

At that time nearly 700 online casinos had been functioning. They processed online rates in several currencies. The Microgaming, Cryptologic, Playtech and Boss Media have been successfully growing since 2000. The Boss Media presented a new gambling interface on the exhibition at Stockholm. It made chatting between the players playing the same game available in real time. The Microgaming offered programs for honesty control. They ensured standard and fair payments of rates of interest. Additionally, the company presented the second jackpot game LotsaLoot and three games more: Super Jax Videopoker, Wow Pot and Fruit Fiesta (online game machine).
