What's a Casino to Do?
There is a bit of criticism in the international media and the buzz on the
industry forums for those European countries that are forcing their way into
some of the closed gambling markets of EU member-states that are controversially
operating state run internet gambling monopolies. The European Commission is
taking an interminably long time in processing through and negotiating with
these countries. For that reason is actually quite understandable that many of
them were forced to resort to other measures in the hopes of forcing open the
monopolized internet online casino gambling markets. The online casinos have
their work cut out for them, and several companies have actually been brought up
on charges by the nations in question, but for the most part it’s just a matter
of asking, what else are they to do?
The online casino gambling monopolies have been operating for a good deal of
time in the EU and there has been only a modicum of movement toward the positive
opening of the EU market and the removal of monopolies. There is a lot of money
within the internet gambling industry – even despite the recession many online
casinos are still turning over some very impressive revenues and figures. That
means that the recession hasn’t hampered those companies that are essentially
waging war alone against nations like Holland, Germany, Sweden, and others.
Land betting companies are also fed up and are joining the online casinos is
nudging open the doors of these closed gambling markets, even if it means
violating the legislation in neighboring countries. And to that same end, there
is very little that the nations running monopolies can do to stop the situation
– the internet is extremely pervasive and there is really no effective way to
block expect through inclusive regulations. |
