Online gamblers were both new and seasoned confused on Thursday afternoon when the Yahoo search engine for about an hour went down. The search engine is often used for players to find the top online casinos from all over the world.

"When I first started playing online poker, I used Google search engine at all about the different online poker sites available for me were, either," said Jack Benson."Now that I know all the sites, I don't use the tool more, but in the beginning it was definitely useful."

In the US is online gambling is still a taboo topic for many lawmakers.Although the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was founded in 2006, the law did nothing to criminalize online gambling for players. Moreover, the UIGEA does not define what forms of online gambling is legal and which are not.

Online sports betting is one type of Internet gambling that is universally accepted as illegal. Online lotteries become an up and coming trend, and they have caused American legislators to look at the UIGEA and its worth. this year, there is a pressure to eliminate the UIGEA and the setting up of a regulated Internet gambling system in the country, but the proposal has not yet made it to the House floor for a vote.
