Casino City Rejected for Last Time

It has been many months since CasinoCity.com first made a case against the US Department of Justice in its bid to fight the governments ruling on banning online casino advertisement. And now, after their petition to the US District Court of Appeals for the Middle Court after being initially dismissed, Casino City’s case and appeal has been dismissed again. It seems as if the case has definitively come to a close, ending the casinos fight to repeal the governments decision to ban the advertising of online casino sites.

It was Casino City CEO Michael Corfman’s belief that the initial pressuring of the government on such large search engines like Google and Yahoo to cease advertising for online casinos or face possible legal action was a violation of the First Amendment, which states that all peoples have the right to free speech. Yet, it seems the online casino has tried in vain, facing a wall of obstacles that otherwise would have been a large step for the online casino industry in the Americas.

Some believe that if other large American gambling companies had stepped up with CasinoCity in supporting their claim, there would have been a stronger case against the government. However, CasinoCity was the only one to put itself at risk, consequently ending any chance to reinstate online casinos advertising.
