In a Gambling Utopia: China

China is the golden frontier for the online casino gambling industry. The population is absolutely huge and an increasing number of Chinese have regular access to high-speed internet. The internet boom has occurred in China, but the Chinese government is strictly against the online casinos. There are rumors that this market may open within the next decade, but for now, the market is strictly closed to internet gambling. The major gambling operators have rapidly begun to expand into the lucrative Chinese market through the offering of unique internet skill and fun gaming. The Chinese government allows online gaming to occur but is actually actively looking for ways to further block the internet gambling content.

The Chinese government sparked a lot of controversy last month with the announcement that the government was now requiring all new computers sold in the country to contain content blocking software known as Green Dam. The announcement of this extreme form of censorship was met with outrage by the Chinese people, the blogosphere ignited with protests. The international community expressed some very real concerns that this level of control would set a dangerous precedence.

The government, ultimately, has put the Green Dam project on hold but the possibility is still out there. When the new measure was first introduced the Chinese government insisted that this new software would only be used to block pornography and online casino gambling content. Even with that assurance though, the Green Dam software would give the government an even scarier level of control over what internet content the Chinese population is allowed to consume.
