Online Casinos Just Don't Seem to Care

The online casinos gambling industry is one of those ethically ambiguous areas – the company’s make enormous profits off of the gamblers (some of whom are even problem gamblers) and yet a handful of the companies are stingy about voluntarily giving back into social programs. There are, naturally, exceptions to this statement, but there is a gray area of companies operating in the online casinos gambling industry with no obligations to the players and communities affected by internet gambling.

The European Gaming Commission passed new regulations in 2005 that actually took effect just this past September. Part of these new regulations were stipulations related to online casinos and internet gambling companies choosing responsible gambling practices without the Commission setting specifics. In particular, the internet gambling companies were required to voluntarily contribute to a problem gambling fund that would then support social programs like hotlines and new research on helping problem gamblers. Shockingly, the Commission has reported that many online casinos chose to either not contribute any company profits into the fund, or instead contributed piddling amounts that does not nearly add up to what the Commission was anticipating the companies would donate.

That is flat-out unacceptable for online casinos gambling companies to take such non-interest in those negatively affected by internet gambling. As for the companies that are doing their part, Betsson has recently announced a new problem gambling research program that will surely generate needed information in the coming years. And Slotland is very actively involved in providing help to poverty stricken regions of the world. These companies are an example of where the online gambling industry ought to be headed considering the sheer amount of profits some of these companies are making yearly.
