Online Casinos Provide Funds

The Remote Gaming Association is on the defense this week amid some in the media claiming that online casinos are not doing their part to contribute to the Responsibility in Gaming Trust which provides education and assistance for gambling addicts. The UK and European governments are promoting increasingly liberal online casino legislation, which has both positives and negatives. Online casinos on the one hand have more room to advertise and have other privileges but also have some very strict responsible gaming regulations to follow. The downside to increases in internet gambling activity is surely the threat of an increase in problem gamblers.

Problem gambling is sadly a fact of life in countries that allow both land and online casino gambling. But the RGA asserts that the internet gambling groups – both offshore and onshore gambling groups are asked to contribute a minimum amount to the Trust. The media however has latched on to the fact that a few of the major online casinos that are licensed and operated remotely have opted not to contribute sufficient amounts to the Trust. And while there is truth in that statement, the RGA criticizes the media for failing to mention the fact that the Trust was fully funded this past year even without the contributions of some online gambling groups.

The contribution system into the Responsibility in Gaming Trust is still in the refinement process and as the RGA and governmental bodies consider methods of enforcing or encouraging donations to the Trust, the RGA wants it known that the Trust is still fully funded by those online casinos with a commitment to preventing problem gambling and providing services to the community to educate and support problem gamblers.
