Online Casinos Can Protect Too
The online casino gambling regulations in the United States are some of the most
controversial in the world nearly wholly because the arguments that are keeping
the highly flawed UIGEA in place are just that, flawed. There is no solid
reasoning behind keeping the online casinos banned in the US marketplace because
they can be properly regulated in a way that keeps tight controls and
protections in place for underage and problem gamblers. That is a key argument
against a regulated and licensed US industry and the rationale and logic is
simply not sound. If internet gambling sites can be fully and completely
blocked, then there must also be technological capabilities to sort
transactions.
The pro-online casino gambling advocates assert that the gambling companies
themselves already have sophisticated identification technology that has solved
the ever-present debate that internet gambling is dangerous for underage
gamblers. The technology at the top gaming companies uses personal
identification practices to ensure that the person applying for an account at
the online casinos is legally of age. Then the second key debate about problem
gambling is one that is actually better argued *with* internet gambling
regulations in place.
The regulatory black hole of the US market right now has ensured that problem
gamblers are not tracked and monitored and that the online casinos have no
oversight and responsible gambling minimum practices to consider. With a
regulated market the illegal and underground black market aspect of the internet
gambling industry goes away and is instead replaced by high functioning and
controlled government supervised market. |
