State of the Union: Online Casino Version

Just last month the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, gave the country a State of the Union address. The State of the Union is a means for the president to summarize what has happened over the past year and also give US citizens a look at the plan for the coming year – basically to give a full coverage of what is going on, why, and what is being done. In honor of the beginning of the year it’s about time we take a moment for a State of the Gambling industry address. What’s going on with the online casinos? How is the international market changing? What can gamblers and players expect in the coming year on a wider scale?

The entirety of the global online casino gambling industry is a daunting topic to be sure, but in short, there is a global battle occurring right now all over the world as nations contend with the pervasiveness of internet gambling and consider censorship and bans as a way to effectively curb illegal gambling activities. Censorship is a loaded word though and nations like Australian and China are carefully treading water as they attempt apply internet content filters without creating too much of a major international outcry. The US and a dozen or so EU countries have gone the route of banning and blocking foreign online casinos and gambling activities in an effort to keep a protected and enclosed gambling market.

The parts of the US government and the EU officials are in a similar predicament as they attempt to create a level playing field for the online casinos which both honors international trade agreements while also tightly controlling the internet gambling industry through regulations and strict legislation.
