Securing International Online Casinos Industry

The internet gambling industry can be a dangerous place for those gamblers located in jurisdictions that have lax or sometimes no regulations in place concerning online casinos gambling. The UK and Europe have some of the tightest regulations in place – legislation designed to protect problem and underage gamblers from exploitation. A new effort though by player protection and advocacy groups will create a minimum set of standards that the worldwide online casinos gambling industry will operate under.

There are several organizations that announced the plan to create the International Responsible Gambling Code of Conduct for the online casinos gambling industry. Heading up the effort are eCOGRA, GamCare, the Remote Gambling Association (RGA) – these organizations are currently very active in supporting responsible gambling practices in Europe and surrounding areas. Other groups actively supporting the new Code of Conduct for the online casinos gambling industry include the Interactive Gaming Council and the European Gaming and Betting Association (EBGA).

These half a dozen or so organizations announced the initial plans late last year at the European Interactive Gaming Expo and the online casinos gambling related organizations are now actively beginning to actually draft the new code. The Managing Director at GamCare, Andrew Poole outlined really what the groups hope to accomplish for the internet gambling industry. Interestingly, the new Code of Conduct will not just affect the online casinos themselves, but players themselves will be empowered to “make informed decisions with regards to their remote gambling participation,” remarks Poole. They can choose a site “secure in the knowledge that operators are required by condition of license to protect the welfare and enjoyment of their customers,” continued Poole.
