In a move reminiscent of the 2006 ban on online gambling that was passed in the United States, the most high profile internet press release circulation service has decided to sever their ties with all of their clients within the online gambling world.

PRWeb, an online outfit that has become famous for their ability to get press releases circulated around the internet within hours of receiving them, has become the target of pressure on the part of the United States government. The federal government has pressured the company to stop circulating any press releases that promote online gambling and after the threat of massive legal action, the press release outfit has finally caved into the demands of the federal government and cancelled any deals they had going with online gambling websites. Sites such as Ultimate Bet and Titan Poker have been part of the cancellation, making this an extremely high profile move within the online gambling community.

In an attempt to placate an extremely disappointed and in some cases angry online gambling community, PRWeb has announced that they will give all of their online gambling clients a full refund because of the lack of circulation of their press releases that will be happening. As many in the online gambling community are aware however, this has less to do with money and more to do with a trend that might be coming back to haunt the community as a whole.

In 2006, the online gambling community came to the brink of disaster within the United States as a result of government actions. Now that the government is starting to crack down on sites once again, the online gambling community senses that the winds of momentum might be shifting again. The fact that this is happening under a different President from a different party does not auger well for the future of online gambling in the US and there are many US-based agencies that worry about the day where online gambling sites just give up on Americans entirely and focus their efforts elsewhere around the world.
