Can Regulation of the Online Casino Industry Work? |
| Is it really possible to regulate the online casino industry? The American Gaming Association seems to think so. Over 70% of the American public seems to think so. Many important organizations and businesses feel that the regulation of the online casino industry is not impossible. However, what is the opposing side saying? Why are there many politicians, businesses and religious groups in the United States who feel that the regulation of the online casino industry is mission impossible? For anyone who has been following the Great Online Casino debate, the arguments against the legalization and regulation of the online casino industry are well known. Basically, the anti-gambling lobby is afraid that it is simply impossible to control anything in cyberspace. They feel that the mere fact that the online casino industry operates from the dark depths of the internet means that regulation will not work. These groups feel that the internet knows no boundaries or limits and no industry can be controlled from an environment such as this. The other argument against the online casino industry is that there is no stopping under age gamblers. Clever minors can easily sign in under pseudonyms, making gambling at online casino sites a breeze for them. One fact remains clear – online gambling already exists. The question is not whether it can be regulated but rather: When will regulation start? |
