More Celebrities Promoting Online Casinos

Online gambling seems to be turning into a more acceptable, or at least, tolerable activity for governments who have at one time or another denounced it and threatened to prosecute.  Evidence of this is in the large number of celebrities who are signing six-figure contracts with online casinos and internet betting sites to act as official spokespersons.  Celebrities such as Tom Arnold, Brooke Burke and former Buffalo Bills quarterback, Jim Kelly have all agreed to promote their respected casinos, even though they are potentially at risk of being prosecuted by the U.S. government.

Although some other celebrities have walked out of their own endorsement talks, it is very likely it was not due to governmental pressure.  Rather, it seems the government has quit taking an active role in prosecuting violators due to the size and scope online gambling has become on the internet and all over the world.

One notable celebrity and former Minnesota Governor, Jesse Ventura, has taken a very pro-active stance towards online gambling.  More specifically, Ventura has made it a personal vendetta of sorts to make online sports betting legal in the U.S.  It very well already could be, considering how many people actually make bets on sports teams over the internet.  The numbers are just as big for those who place their bets in the online casino.  And now that notable figures like Ventura are taking an open stance, online gambling could very well become legal in the U.S. soon.  As far as Ventura is concerned, he is not aware of any law explicitly prohibiting what he is doing.

To top it off, over half of the yearly revenue that is generated by online gambling, comes from American players.  Maybe its the slot machines, or maybe its the American's way of free enterprise and doing as they see fit.  Whatever it comes down to, Christiansen Capital Advisors has confirmed that online gambling revenue will reach over $12 billion this year.  That is too much money for any one government to try and put down.
