Exploiting Gamblers
The problem with some online casinos is that they are just not operating with
longevity of the industry in mind. The vast majority of gambling companies are
really interested in building a strong internet gambling industry that can last
for a long time and work in harmony with national governments. The harmonious
aspect comes from the sites complying with regulations and actively looking to
safely advance the gambling industry. Online casinos are most benefited from a
safe gambling environment for their gamblers – those sites that are exploiting
underage gamblers are the minority but are sadly getting the media attention.
Problem gambling numbers have increased as the online casino gambling industry –
but they are still well within the same percentage and stats as the land
gambling industry. So although more gamblers are seeking out help for problem
and addictive gambling tendencies, the percentage and ratio of gamblers remains
the same. This is largely thanks to the vigilant efforts of the online casinos.
But not four sites in Australia that are operating out of the Northern Territory
and are actually linked from problem gambling help sites – a definite no-no.
There is a real hope that this will resolve itself quickly from having the
online casinos in question remove themselves from the supposed gambling help
sites. Problem gambling and gambling addictions are a serious problem that
affect families and praying on and exploiting gamblers is just a not good and
clearly against all ethical and moral business practices that any gambling
related company should follow. |
