It's a reference to the US national anthem.
If it's refer national anthem of America then i think here need a sticky post on American National anthem. I think it will be a great for identify a good forum.

THIS GUY is Ray Charles a Very famous musician singer. He is blind and self taught. He is American and his signature song was "America the Beautiful!"
It is a favorite and very patriotic song for Americans.
We don't knock your music nor your phrases, please respect ours.

I think that was a light-hearted jab, we have a sense of humor here too. I'm sure Ray would have gotten a chuckle out of that! I know this is not the video section of the forum but just to enlighten those who don't know this man try this one.. (crank it up for best effect!)

I agree it's a great video. It's unreal that people actually take offense to this.

Sometimes i myself sometimes get tired of being in the USA and wish i could move. It is very nice to have a spot to post and have others that are going threw the same restrictions and can understand the frustration. I am sorry if this bothers you .
I want to ask every member why ?
Why just America beautiful ?
I see another country is more beautiful from America. But why we say here "America The Beautiful" ?
Thats like saying "why god save the queen?"
i have no idea why USA is restricted in online casinos, knowing they had access to MG years back. i would appreciate to be pointed to a specific detailed thread where i can found why this happened. CM being so old, i would also like to see the thread when this happened and people opinions.

Use the search function for the term UIGEA. That should explain what happened to us.
Also, our host, Casinomeister, was born and raised in the United States.

I may be a little cynical of our Government but I believe the reason we got these restrictions is because of how certain things are regulated by the Federal government and other things regulated by the individual State governments.
Our Federal (National) government is only supposed to legislate what is in our Constitution and interactions between the States. Items not covered by that are supposed to be delegated to the States to regulate as they see fit. There has never been and never will be a Federal law forbidding any gambling of any kind unless an amendment is made to the Constitution. However, our Federal government is extremely corrupt and spiteful when it comes to money and favors for the big lobbies.
Basically, they weren't making any tax money from allowing off shore gambling to continue and they are not allowed to regulate it so they went after the banks under the guise of it being a National security issue. Throw in lobbyists from religious organizations (gambling is sinful behavior) and land based casinos (that could be our money) and that was that.
When the Feds pulled the plug they told off shore casinos operating here that if they left right away they would be welcomed back if the environment changed. Intercasino (Cryptologic) was one of the first to leave and as soon as online gambling started here in New Jersey they had a presence at the site managed by Caesars. Microgaming skirted around for a short time after they were supposed to leave so we may not see their games here for quite a while. Off shore casinos still operating here now, mainly RTG, will probably never be welcomed back to the regulated market.
We are finally starting to come around now and once we have a viable product to offer perhaps it will open back up in an International way.
You should be able to find plenty of threads here, search for 'black Friday' or 'UIGEA' and the general consensus was that it really sucked for US players.

It was a nightmare... and remains so to this day. To really get an idea of what happened - the UIGEA, Black Friday, Blue Monday, the arrests of the NETeller founders, and all the other insane crap, go to the Casino Industry Discussion section.... begin in the time frame of late 2006... Here ya go.... HERE ... somewhere in there - and just start reading.

On MG, I recall reading here some posting by Casinomeister himself that he'd touched base with some of MG's operations people during an online gaming industry conference in London, and they'd suggested that while they would have loved to continue servicing US customers, it became too burdensome. So they eventually pulled out entirely, even as they hung on a couple years after the UIGEA. Sad because like many others, they were my favorite.
