Online Casinos Take Heat

The online casino gambling industry really takes a lot of mud slung in its direction from a variety of organizations and nations from all over the world. As merely an extension of the land gambling industry the internet casinos provide gamblers with a way to experience the slot machines and table games right from their own homes. Despite the rather innocuous beginning of the online casino gambling industry more than a decade ago, it has become a really major issue that is plaguing countries all over the world as they work out new legislation and regulations that address this invasive medium. In Australia, the government has really just decided to make internet gambling a major issue in need of handling.

The result has been controversial. Australia’s Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy is pretty much on the attack and is looking to block online casino gambling through ISP censorship so that Australian internet users can not even view the sites, let alone gamble through them. Conroy has made not illusions about the fact that he is not a fan of the internet gambling industry – including internet poker and most of the other sectors. Conroy is now in the middle of a media frenzy as his public comments on iiNet are angering some in the industry and causing heat among other ISPs.

The ISP censorship plans are still in the testing phase and iiNet dropped out of the trial claiming the government’s continually changing policies conflicted with iiNet’s socially responsible corporate policy. This naturally has angered Conroy and the entire censorship and online casino gambling blocking issue has taken on whole new levels of absurdity.
