Keeping Gamblers in Check

The Australian government is in a very unique place right now – the country has the ability to swing one of two ways. One: into a globally opposed regime of controlled online casino gambling use through internet censorship and filters. Or two: a regulated industry that protects internet gamblers through specific government regulations and a clear licensing process. At present, the Aussie government is leaning toward unnecessary (and even slightly scary) censorship of Australian internet activity. The only saving grace right now is the fact that the Australian Productivity Commission is finalizing its report on the potential effects of a full Aussie gambling industry that accepts and controls online casinos in the market.

The online casinos closely watching the Australian situation develop are very skeptical that the Productivity Commission’s report is going to contain many breaks for the internet gambling industry, but there is a possibility still. The Productivity Commission’s report was commissioned by the government for the purposes of better understanding the current landscape of land and online casino betting and gambling. Thankfully, the Aussie government has not acted rashly as it was once assumed the government was attempting to do. Instead of rapidly filtering internet content before any strong objections could be made to stop the filtering, the government took the public outrage and opinions expressed and has since really worked to better understand the position of the online casinos and where they might fit into the Australian gambling market.

There are certainly no promises this year, and 2010 will likely show some sort of extreme changes to the Australian online casino gambling policies, but as long as the government slowly and methodically considers the choices, there is really nothing else the gambling sites can ask of them.
