We’ve run into a bit of a problem over the last few years; bear with us and see how it might affect you.

You see, we’re a bunch of guys who live and work and play in the good ol’ U. S. of A. It’s usually a pretty good place to do your thing, but there are a few notable exceptions, as they say.

One of those exceptions is when it comes to online casinos USA, online poker USA, and of course online sportbooks USA. See, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but us Americans tend to have an ‘all or nothing’ kind of approach to things. When it comes to something that a certain segment of the population doesn’t like, we end up with either Prohibition or a mess of choices. Sometime both.

So when UIGEA came around, the possibility of prohibition (or at least a huge headache) forced out a lot of our favorite places to play. We lost William Hill, Ladbrokes, Paddy Power, and 888, among others. Sucks for us, but most people outside the US should seriously consider taking a look at those sites, if they haven’t already.

The good news is that we were left with at least three truly high-quality online sports betting sites.

• Bodog - great bonuses, a solid selection of lines and some reduced juice promotions, as well as a world-class poker room for you Texas Hold’em-playing sports fans. Hard to beat!

• Intertops – we’ve had very good luck at this US-friendly book, and we appreciate their ‘no nonsense’ approach to the design of the site. Communication has never been an issue. Great online slots, too.

• BetUS – a very popular sportsbook among those of us stuck behind the UIGEA curtain. We’ve heard some rumors of unhappy players, but we’ve always been satisfied.

Hope this helps, and remember: don’t go by only what we say. Do your research!
