It's So True

Last month there was a moment when just about everyone in the online casino gambling industry was holding their breath – rumors had surfaced that the Washington State government banned a major internet PR company from producing press releases for the internet gambling industry. Mostly there was a lot of incredulity…surely this isn’t true. Within a week, though, PRWeb confirmed that the company would no longer write press releases for online casinos at the request of the state government. The state government has a strong vested interest in the state land gambling industry and, as such, has some of the harshest regulations in the United States concerning internet casinos and poker gambling activities.

The Poker Players Alliance and other special interest groups have been aggressively pursuing new regulations and legislation in Washington State that would effectively legalize online casino poker and neutralize the currently draconian laws and enforcement. Internet gambling in Washington State is a felony offence – this fact has already made the State a spotlight for international concern. With this latest issue though it seems as if the Gambling Commission is going to continue to penalize the online casino gambling industry in any way possible until new laws (hopefully) come into effect.

Now, a month after PRWeb broke all contracts and services with the international online casinos, it still seems like something out of a prehistoric time – how can the government so severely restrict one sector of the market when it’s solely profit and protectionist reasons causing the harsh regulations and restrictions.
