Banning Online Casinos the Problem

The claims that banning and blocking online casinos only worsens the problem has been the central argument in cases all over the world. The US and Australia are currently tops in the fight to legalize forms of internet gambling and betting, and if the latest media spotlight on India is any indication, India is next. The Indian gaming laws are incredibly old and there is controversy over why the Indian government is still allowing laws that were created decades ago to apply to a new medium that has been around for about a decade. Online casinos first launched into the market in the late 90s, since that time they have spread all over the world, onto ever continent and into every country. The internet gambling and betting medium is as pervasive as the internet and cannot simply be ignored.

For several years now there has been only a minor level of interest on the Indian online casino gambling and betting industry. In the past several weeks, however, controversy within the sports betting industry is putting the situation under new scrutiny. There have been harsh claims made lately of corruption and match-fixing in the Twenty20 cricket tournament that took place in India and Indians and the rest of the world are calling for some action. The fact is, non-regulation and banning just fosters corruption in the online casinos and betting sites. The only way that has been proven to effectively control these industries is clear regulation.

The Indian government has not yet made any moves to effectively regulate the online casinos and internet betting industries and there is a hope that this latest sporting scandal will provide enough proof and impetus to effect some strong changes in India’s gaming laws.
