It's Not Under Control

The land and online casinos in the UK have really prided themselves in the past year or two because of their technology and identification systems that are in place as a way to keep underage individuals from gambling. The land betting industry was actually at the bottom of some of the shocking investigative findings from the UK Gambling Commission’s recent “sting” survey. According to the recently published results, UK bookmaking shops are nearly all essentially allowing underage betting. One of the assumptions right now from within the land and online casino gambling industry opines that the bookie shops are actually nonchalantly disregarding the precautions and measures necessary to effectively prevent underage gambling.

The Gambling Commission is assigned the task of monitoring the land and online casino gambling industries to ensure that all companies operating in the UK market are taking responsible gambling measures so that underage gamblers are effectively prevented from participating in any form of gambling. This includes the land bookie shops although there has been extensive international attention placed on the online casinos operating within the UK.

The results are pretty disturbing, especially considering so much emphasis really does make its way to the online casinos. Land bookie shops seem to have much less stringent protocol in place. The research indicated that 98 percent of the bookies did not really check the ID of underage gamblers and thus allowed a 17 year old to place bets at the establishment. There is no word yet on how the Commission plans to resolve this obviously large flaw in the UK bookmaking system of age verification.
