Previous year was not a very good year for the biggest casino software company in the world, Microgaming. Microgaming decided to ban players that are based in the United States of America from their online casinos and online poker rooms. That was because it is not legal in the United States to gamble anymore, after the UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) was sharpened.

Because Microgaming does not accept American players any longer, a lot of online casinos switch to other casino software providers. But fortunately for Microgaming, they have recently signed an agreement with one of the largest online casinos at this moment, Ladbrokes. Ladbrokes is going to use the software by Microgaming from now on in their online casinos and online poker rooms.
