US gambling sites are set to pay increasingly close attention to bills proposing a ban on internet casinos.

The Goodlatte and Leach bills, which propose the ban, have recently caused a stir in the internet gambling community by becoming increasingly hot topics in governmental debates.

According to Online Casino Reports, the laws were recently given primary approval by the House of Representatives, which has come as a shock to many firms.

Should the two bills become law, as now seems possible, firms based in the US will have to make big decisions regarding how best to carry on offering their services to their thousands of customers.

The implementation of these new laws would make online casino gambling illegal in the US, leaving a large number of firms and millions of customers in the lurch.

European and offshore companies could be set to benefit hugely from new custom if the laws are passed.
