Taking a Stand
The online casino gambling industry has been widely accepted all over the world
as a innovative new medium that gives gamblers and gamers the opportunity to
enjoy the game from the comfort of their own home. Internet betting has been
viewed in much the same way and besides the major nations that out-right object
to online casinos and betting sites many countries have now embraced the medium
and allowed the expansion of gambling sites all over the world. But some land
betting and gambling companies are taking a stand against the internet betting
industry and refusing to succumb to lure and profits of internet betting.
More specifically though on the subject, land betting companies and clubs in New
South Wales, Australia have outright refused to allow prominent online casino
betting companies to link brands and names with the land betting company. Club
NSW serves more than 1,400 clubs throughout NSW and has broad access to the land
betting industry. Recent online casino betting industry reports indicate that
both Centrebet.com and Betezy.com.au approached Club NSW with offers of setting
up an “internet café-style system” for online betting that would allow gamblers
to gain immediate access to the company’s site and then easily place bets
through the internet.
Club NSW has answered for all of the clubs on the company’s network and refused
to link the clubs into the online casino betting industry. The main reason
behind rejecting the deals stems from the belief that internet casinos and
betting companies facilitate credit card betting, something that is dangerous
for gamblers and ought to be banned by the government according to officials at
Club NSW. |
