Paddy Power USA License

July 13, 2012

We seem to be saying that we are bringing truly groundbreaking, earth shattering news quite frequently recently, this all started with the Nevada Gaming Control Board granting the first online gambling licenses in the USA to Bally Technologies. Now, although that this first license was indeed groundbreaking, it was not actually granted to an online casino provider. Bally Technologies is a platform provider, an enabler of online casinos. So, the news we are bringing you today is of another flavor entirely, as it seems the very first online casino to be given a full USA online gambling license is imminent, and this is likely to be Paddy Power Online Casino. Paddy Power has not been granted a license yet, but it has passed preliminary scrutiny and the Nevada Gaming Control Board has stated that Paddy Power is suitable for granting a license to.

Paddy Power, as the name suggests, is an online casino operator which is based in Ireland, it has no current business assets in the USA. So it is fair to assume that if Paddy Power is actually granted this license (which seems highly probable) that it will expand rapidly in to the US online gambling market. Now, we have to realize that in the same way that Bally Technologies was a leading, reputable platform provider, then Paddy Power is an equally squeaky clean online casino operator. In fact, few online casinos can boast such a sparking reputation as Paddy Power, possibly only Virgin Online Casino can compete on reputation stakes.

Paddy Power is valued at something like 6 billion dollars, and is one of the largest online gambling operators in the world, so it makes perfect sense that it should be chosen as the first online gambling provider to receive a US online gambling license by the Nevada Gaming Control Board. In fact, we cannot think of another single online casino operator, apart from the aforementioned Virgin Online Casino which would be more suitable to receive this historic first online gambling license.

So despite opposition heating up to the new fresh stance on online gambling with the USA seems to be taking, it is reassuring to see that the powers that be are selecting only the cream of the crop of corporations to receive these new licenses, and we are sure this will do much to stem public concerns.
