Age Verification in the Internet Gambling Industry

As of September, the United Kingdom will impose all new online casino gambling regulations on the industry. Included in these new regulations are specifications that the online casinos must show responsible gaming practices including age and identification verification. And considering that September is just around the corner, some internet gambling and betting sites are already forming contracts with companies that can guarantee verification services.

Specifically, rather than all of the online casinos switching over to the new age and identification services offered by companies like 192 Business Services, several internet betting sites have signed up with 192 as a way to prove to the UK government that the betting companies are aligning their business practices with the new regulations.

The new UK restrictions concerning online casinos are a result of increased control over the industry from the UK Gaming Commission. The Commission now not only has the power to make the new restrictions and regulations, but they can also now enforce those efforts to make the industry more uniform and safe for the online casino gamblers.

192.com is a fast growing company in the industry because it allows betting and online casino gambling sites to almost effortlessly prove that all of the players and bettors on the sites are legitimate and of gambling age in the UK. Ian Green, Director at 192 elaborates on the need 192.com specifically fills, “Gaming operators will soon be under the watchful eye of the gambling commission and will need to concretely prove the age and ID of their customers.”

Specific concerns at the Commission center on the idea of socially responsible online casino betting companies. The gambling industry should voluntarily take the steps necessary to protect underage gamblers, addicts, and those suffering from identity theft. But considering that the internet makes all of these tasks more difficult since no one is fact to face with the gamblers, the Commission has enacted restrictions to force companies to be proactive and socially responsible.
