Online Gaming Websites that fail to localise are gambling with failure. - Online gaming is a huge and profitable Internet business which has been vastly changing due to many developments over the last year. The United States online gaming industry was shut down after George W. Bush signed the unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act on September 30th 2007, thereby criminalising the transfer and handling of payments from online gambling. As the US was the most profitable market for the majority of the leading gaming firms, they have been hit hard and one of the internets biggest businesses lost a large amount of their profits overnight. They now have to focus their efforts on other countries and new territories due to the fear of losing more revenue.
