I have worked in the online gaming industry with one of the biggest companies out there for a long time now.
I would like to add a quick comment here about selecting the gaming company you choose to play with for real or for play money.
I would always make sure you are playing with a publically traded company. There are a lot of casinos,sportsbooks,pokerrooms out there that are still taking American players on. This makes the company a target for the American Department of Justice. You will notice that there are 0 plc companies still operating within the states because it puts shareholders and directors at risk.
The reason i talk about even if you are playing for fun is that if these companies are private and are feeling the pinch because of their business in the US they might sell your data on without your permission. There needs to be guidelines in place to regulate issues like this for the smaller private companies but you will find most plc type companies will already have a protocol in place and will not stray from it.
So just be careful and stick to your big plc betting companies and you should be fine.
Also remember if a sign up bonus seems too good to be true, it usually is!
