Thoughts on Obama

A new board is in the development stages in the UK right now as the UK government and the Gambling Commission itself recognize a need for a greater focus on the issues and policies surrounding problem gambling. The new board will act in an advisory capacity to the existing Gambling Commission, which oversees all of the UK’s land and online caisno gambling activity. In addition to interfacing with the Gambling Commission, initial reports indicate that the newly forming board will also provide guidance to the Department of Media, Culture, and Sport in all matters that concern land and online casino problem gambling.

There have been mixed reports out of the UK – some indicate that problem gambling, also referred to as ludomania, is on the rise in the UK as a result of the huge influx of online casinos, bingo, and poker gambling sites that now have access to the UK market as well as certain advertising rights and media rights. As concerns grow in the public the UK Commission has decided that a separate board that focuses on the very specific issues and obstacles presented by problem gambling would best serve the UK gambling public.

The new board has already been formed and according to the initial information Baroness Neuberger is heading up the efforts with a pretty stellar support team of other professionals and top names in the industry also lending their support and knowledge about this field. 2009 will mark the first year that the Commission is in operation and as such a professor at the Center for the Study of Gambling, Peter Collins, will advise the new board as they move forward this first year in providing solutions to problem gambling in the UK.
