is there any online blackjack for USA players

I use to play online blackjack, but after neteller fiasco I stopped. It just did not look like a good idea, wonder if anything has changed, is it illegal?

If USA players can play, what sites do you recommend with someone with a Mac

from what i understand, there are like 10 states thate cant gamble online, and illinois is one of them

You're not gonna get anywhere as a US player with a Mac. Move to England and get a PC.

clubusacasino.com (great bonuses)

englishharbor.com (no bonuses but higher limits and S17)

Used both and was very happy. If you play blackjack at english harbor though, make SURE to chat with live support and ask them to opt you out of bonuses (their daily deposit bonuses can only be played-through on slots, and you can't even withdraw your real money until you meet the requirements).

You can play at the Belle Rock group of online casinos. These are Lucky Nugget, River Belle, etc. Sometimes a credit card works, sometimes not.

Casinomeister has a list of accredited casinos that will accept US players.

Unless this group of shysters has changed their ways i wouldn't gamble with them.

I joined Belle Rock two years ago and found their system hard to use and difficult to control how much i was betting. Kept making me bet the table max.

One time they dealt both dealer cards face down and it was NOT Pontoon!

In short; Unless they've seen the light forget about Belle river and their various subsidiaries on the net. And besides, their software sucks. Acts like a virus.

one time at starluck.com i was playing 3 card. i lost $300 in about 5 minutes...on $5/5 plays, with $5 anti. I emailed them and asked for a log and said i must have lost 30 hands in a row damn near at one pt, are you sure this isnt rigged?.... they credited the full $300 back to me within 4 hrs after they reviewed my play and basically said "if we were in your shoes, we would think the same thing, please take this as a....blah blah". very nice people. but i still didnt trust it. so i cashed out. Anyhoo, online **** is too unregulated and a real hassle for americans to get cash in and out. basically i wouldnt even try if i were you. If you live in canada or europe, you have way better options, but its still you against a computer program...so you might as well just play slots instead of BJ. :cool2:

what the hell does having a mac have to do with it?

Software compatibility.

My theory is that the only thing you can do efficiently on a Mac....is navigate to the apple website to buy more Macs. :laugh:

Back when it was easy to get money in and out, I bought a cheap PC from someone because all I could play on my Mac was Casino on net. Ahhh bonus hustling... those were the days.

You can use both BetJamaica.com and Bookmaker.com. These sites have remained open to US customers and are both A+ rated on another sports betting site, as far as payouts and stability.

As far as being legal, well, that is up to you. Vague at best but you shouldn't have a problem getting paid by either of these sites if that is your major concern.

Good luck...

Online gambling is not illegal at the federal U.S. level. Your state my have a law against it, but really thats not going to get inforced compared to "real" crime they need to spend their budgets fighting.

What is illegal is if a U.S. monetary instituation willingly knows they are sending funds to a gambling establishment...say if i want to use my bank ATM card to go play poker or bj online. The bank can get fined. The law is real loose, and banks put in meager checks, but casinos get around them by setting up a shelter so the transaction isnt posted to a gambling site, say just an account in some european bank.

I don't think this is correct. I believe that the UIGEA only applies to illegal transactions, and I believe there have been some cases on this. I re-read the law recently, and it only says that transactions for "illegal gambling" are banned. But sports betting IS illegal at the federal level.

oh yes, you are right. There is that federal wire act of 1960 something that says telephone lines cannot be used for gambling except horse racing.

So now that we used broadband cable, DSL, 2 BB satellites....technically its not a telephone wire :laugh: It still doesnt say gambling is illegal at the federal level though just using a telephone wire to do it is....meh, im out.
