Online Casino Chooses to Help

The British Gambling Commission has consistently pushed the message of internet gambling companies choosing to use responsible gambling practices voluntarily rather than maintaining the minimum requirements, and sadly many online casinos have chosen profits over the welfare of the community. But on the up side, the Swedes have once again taken a long-term look at the situation and the Swedish gambling group Betsson AB has announced a new research scholarship program aimed at providing more information of the consequences related to internet gambling addiction. Many online casinos have left this issue to the Gambling Commissions to worry about, but Betsson’s proactive approach is refreshing.

Betsson is one of the larger of the European online casino, poker, and betting companies, with a range of services both through the internet and land based facilities. The company’s main player-base comes from the Scandinavian region, with a smattering of other market players. Betsson has joined the global trend for online casinos toward having a very inclusive site offering 16 languages and various currencies are accepted on the site. Outside of the Betsson.com site, the company does have some European gamblers using the company’s products through CasinoEuro.com, and other of the company’s products.

The new research initiative though is one of the company’s most exciting announcements because it indicates that Betsson is really embracing proactive responsible gambling policies, and most importantly, the company adopted this latest program without pressure from the European Gambling Commission. Betsson has announced that company will award two SEK 15,000 scholarships each year for use on researching problem online casinos gambling.
