Malaysia Overrun by Online Casinos

The Malaysian government has made no secret of its dislike and intolerance for the online casino gambling industry…so it’s pretty interesting that illegal internet gambling has literally invaded the country. The Malaysian task forces have shut raided and closed nearly 3,000 gambling operations this year alone, but reports indicate that syndicates within the country are linking with offshore companies to offer small illegal online casino gambling operations all throughout the country instead of just in the capital city, where most of the gambling had previously been concentrated. Malaysia’s Home Minister feels that internet gambling is wholly negative for the country because it will to gambling addiction and, down the road, increased crime rates.

The appeal of online casino gambling is undeniable –so is the fact that regulation of the industry may very well be the only way that nations can effectively control the spread of the industry. The internet is an extremely pervasive medium and over the past five years failed banning regulations in various countries are clearly indicating that there may just be no way to out-right block the online casinos. The theory now emerging centering on the fact that nations can better protect their gamblers with a regulated internet gambling system in place rather than the underground markets that are bound to crop up in regulatory voids, or when the pastime is criminalized.

In Malaysia right now, although the police are aggressively pursuing the online casino gambling operations, the syndicates are so widespread and pervasive that this offshore operation will be much harder for the government to effectively find and shut down.
