Is there a Problem?

The UK is one of most liberalized and also regulated gambling markets on the planet – but to what affect wonder some in the industry? A newspaper in the UK has recently released claims that problem gambling is on the rise at the land and online casinos. This is actually contrary to what many official research studies have concluded in the past year. The UK gambling market works on a sort of system of balances. The online casino gambling companies are given increased freedoms when it comes down to advertising in the UK’s television and print media, but in turn the companies adhere to strict regulations and operate under responsible gambling policies which are aimed at protecting underage and problem gamblers.

The MailOnline is a UK based newspaper that makes the claim that problem gambling is on the rise in the UK because of statistics that indicate that more problem gamblers have contacted Gamcare than in previous years – a significant amount more. Gamcare is an organization funded by the government and put in place to offer support to problem land and online casino gamblers throughout the UK. Gamcare recently released information that shows that 25 percent more gamblers are seeking help from the company than just one year previously.

The new liberalized gambling regulations only came into effect this past September and the MailOnline claims that the increased number of callers can be attributed to the new regulations in place. The newspaper goes on to claim that the advertising plays a part because it keeps the online casinos at the forefront of a gambler’s mind and sends them to the sites – which are easy to join than ever before.
