Not Liking the Internet Gaming

News from Vietnam indicates that the government is looking to put a stop to excessive online casino gambling habits that are cropping up in some Vietnamese internet users. The issue has gone all the way to the Vietnamese Ministry of Information and Communications and officials are looking for the Ministry to put more controls in place to limit access to specific forms of skill and gambling games that are found at the online casinos – the specific games are targeted for their gambling or violent elements. Additionally, the request has been made in the interest of younger Vietnamese internet users who are potentially exploited by these games.

The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Information and Communications sent the request to the Ministry and actually named the eight online games that are under attack for their content. Three of the games are on the list because of overtly violent nature: Sudden Attack, Cross Fire, and Special Force. Interstingly each of these games are designed and distributed by separate gaming software developers. The same is not true for the online casino themed games – five card games are under attack because of their link to the internet gambling industry. These include: Baccarat, Blackjack, Badugi, Seven Poker, and Gostop.

Vietnam has already begun to address the issues that these games represent – although online casino gambling is taboo, gamers are spending inordinate amounts of time either playing the video-style games or they are able to easily circumvent government restrictions on their length and type of game play.
