Filtering Out the Bad

The word filter has become a bit of a dirty word in the online casino gambling industry right now because of the two key countries that are trying to use an argument for national filtering as a way to block internet gambling. Filtering content out at the government and ISP level is highly controversial in the market right now because it is an activity that seriously limits freedom from censorship laws that exist in most developing countries. But there is another type of content filtering that still involves the online casinos but is completely acceptable within the market – and that is web filters for children.

The ever growing concern that online casinos tempt underage children to gamble has meant that content filtering software for households with children is becoming increasingly popular. The online casino companies are even encouraging the widespread use of new technologies that will protect the vulnerable from internet gambling. Tibboh ISP has now announced a filtering process at the ISP level that will classify billions of web pages from around the world and then allow parents to mark mobile phones and computers at home with age level restrictions.

The process is intended to protect underage kids from other dangers outside of the online casino gambling industry as well – filtered content will include certain MySpace pages and other inappropriate forms of social networking. All told, the Tibboh filtering software is not revolutionary – this has been done and attempted before on smaller scales, but this is the first time that such a user-friendly application has been implemented in the huge UK online gambling market.
