Musings on Longevity: 3

Some recent developments in the industry are actually a bit reassuring – although the online casino gambling industry critics are never quite appeased, a Canadian gambling group has taken it upon themselves to fund responsible gambling initiatives and programs. The Nova Scotia Gaming Corporation announced it had earmarked Cdn $8 million toward the responsible gaming programs. One of the key efforts with the money is to develop and fund a site that is specifically targeted at gamblers who may be a have problem gambling tendencies. The Corporation announced that the new site was the first of its kind in the online casino gambling industry – this is pretty encouraging if you ask me.

Some of the most prominent online casinos and gambling brands in the UK have demonstrated some very poor responsible gaming efforts – the companies do everything necessary to comply with the UK’s legislation and regulations of the industry – but there is definitely a bare bones approach to the whole situation. Some UK organizations are worried that this hesitancy and lack of commitment from the country’s major online casino gambling brands does not bode for well for the future of the current legislation.

The UK and Canadian online casino gambling industries paint two very different pictures of the industry. “Responsible gaming” is the new industry buzz word right now and it will be interesting to see how the global gambling industry unties to tackle problem gambling – I suspect that it will be somewhere in the middle of these two extremes and will take into account the global nature of the industry – prohibition of the industry is likely a thing of the past no matter how hard countries like the US attempt to ban the industry.
