Aussies Help Problem Online Casino Gamblers

Australia’s land and online casinos gambling industry has grown significantly over the past several years and the state governments are actually forced to play catch-up with the expansions in the industry. With international concern growing about the exploitation of problem gamblers, the Victorian Prime Minister has announced a plan to alter all of the regions land poker gambling machines so that players can have control over the amount on time and money spent gambling. The new restrictions will take fully take effect in 2010 and will greatly help the Victorian government protect problem land and online casino gamblers.

Just last week eCOGRA and GamCare hosted a weekend intensive dedicated to responsible gambling practices at the management and corporate level. Add to that the UK’s strict requirements on online casinos gambling practices and it is very clear that there is a heavy international effort in place to help gamblers gamble responsibly.

A few of the changes that the Victorian government announced which will occur by 2012 specifically for the land casinos gambling industry (online casinos gambling is a separate matter altogether) include: self-imposed time limits that players can choose before they begin to play, self-imposed spending limits, no ATM machines located in gambling areas, and a gambling warning visible on all of the poker machines. Victorian Prime Minister John Grumby is hoping to expand the warning to all forms of gambling machines from slots to poker as well as find new ways to protect players from addictive and problem gambling tendencies.

The Victorian government is on the leading edge of an international movement to make land and online casinos gambling safer for the gamblers and to give land and internet casinos a way to avoid the exploitation of additive gamblers.
