Tighter Social Controls for Online Casinos

Online casino gambling policies in Malta are likely to change in the very near future as John Dalli, the Social Policy Minister on the island takes up the cause and calls for some tighter controls on several aspects of the gambling industry. Malta is a top licensing jurisdiction in the global gambling industry and the island is known for progressive and strong internet gambling regulations for all of the online casinos licensed out of Malta. A growing concern for the Maltese though is the impact of internet gambling on the Maltese themselves. Dalli has come right out with his position on the situation and announced that gambling related advertising on the island should be banned and controls put in place to track where the internet gambling is coming from to protect some of the more vulnerable in Malta.

Problem gambling is a growing concern in the global community and as the Social Policy Minister Dalli has taken on the internet gambling industry head-on and plans to introduce new avenues of control for the impact that online casinos have on Maltese gamblers. Dalli’s essential message is not to prohibit and stop internet gambling, but to rather minimize the ability for gambling abuse and addictive gambling habits to form. Dalli supports the online casino gambling industry from an entertainment perspective but is looking to implement additional controls that will better track and limit the potential for abuse.

In addition to proposed bans on advertising from the online casinos, Dalli proposes that the Maltese gambling authorities should work with the ISP to track IP addresses. This information would help the Maltese authorities determine where internet gambling is most popular and how to better offer problem gambling preventative measures.
