China Blocks Even More

The Chinese government has never placed a whole lot of emphasis or concern on the international outrage that stemmed from the previous plans for internet censorship. Although free of the internet is a concept strong in the Western countries the Chinese government strongly believes that censorship and high level filtering is a completely acceptable activity. The new government restrictions in place are not as severe as the planned filtering ban of last year, but the new program is designed to weed out all illegal online casino gambling activity by creating a lot more loopholes and requirements for internet gaming companies. Any internet business offering games within the Chinese market must fall within the restrictions that online gaming content cannot violate the social morals of the country nor the law.

The vague wording about social morals and the blocking of internet content that imitates socially immoral activity is just a fancy way of saying that the online casinos are banned as a part of the new restrictions as well, as if the previous beans were not enough. In addition to blocking this specific type of gambling the new Chinese restrictions program mandates that a new ID program is in place and all internet gaming companies must implement a real name identification program complete with age verification and restrictions on the amount of online game play each person can engage in.

Online casino gambling and gaming is a $3.8 billion industry and yet the government is still attempting to block the activity instead of embracing and taxing the industry. Although the blocks may be minorly effective when first implemented the hackers and savvy internet gamblers will still find ways to gamble via offshore gambling sites with or without the new internet gaming restrictions.
