Not Loving the Online Casino Gambling Industry

Australia is proving to be one of the more difficult markets for the land and online casino gambling industries. The Aussie governments are not wholly against gambling, but on the same token, there are some family action groups firmly espousing all of the negative aspects of an expanded land and internet gambling industry. Taking the heat right now is no longer the online casinos, but rather poker machines in pubs and betting shops. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is largely against these machines as are some other prominent politicians. Further exacerbating the entire situation is the fact that problem gambling is on the rise and most people are pointing to the rise in online gambling and poker machines as a primary reason for the increases.

The latest situation comes from a report that Clubs Australian is planning to begin some measures and efforts to prevent problem gambling and provide assistance from those gamblers already addicted to forms of land and online casino gambling. Clubs Australian apparently announced several measures that are catching a bit of heat right now – one of which involves family interventions as a method of curbing high problem gambling rates.

And while Clubs Australian (which represents a large portion of the clubs that allow poker machine gambling) can be applauded for recognizing a problem in the community and looking to act, the government is looking toward a different solution – limiting the number of poker machines permissible in each location. Further government intervention and regulations on behalf of the online caisno gambling industry is less than desirable for the business, but may be a necessary move to lower problem gambling statistics in Australia.
