Tricky Poker Blocks

Many countries are finding that fully blocking forms of online casinos gambling is quite hard in this day and age. The fact is, with new technology always finding its way onto the market and the pervasiveness of the Internet, banning and blocking gambling sites is largely ineffective (to see a perfect example just look to the U.S.’s current dilemma). But for all of those hardships, there is one innovative way that the Finnish government is considering implementing that would certainly deter online casinos from accepting Finnish gamblers.

Basically, a report released earlier this year observed that Finnish online casinos gamblers are losing large amounts of money to foreign gambling companies – to the tune of Euro 50 million each year. The reported surmised that the Finnish government should pass legislation that would allow Finns to claim back their losses at the online casinos – a move that would then make the Finns an undesirable target for the offshore gambling companies, as well as providing motivation for the credit card companies to block the transactions.

The report – or rather an academic research study actually commissioned by the Finland’s Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, was not an entirely broad look at the online casinos gambling and betting industry, but did certainly provide an innovative idea for stopping undesired internet gambling activities.

An obvious “elephant in the room” at this point is the question of who would pay for the players looking to recoup their losses. Well, either the actually online casinos gambling sites themselves, or more likely the credit card companies would be forced to pay back the amount. That way, both the credit card companies and the undesired online gambling sites would have motive to eliminate the activity.
