Are they Sweepstakes or Online Casinos

The State of Florida has a new battle on its hands this week as the internet cafes face off against the Florida race tracks in a battle that will have far reaching implications throughout the state. The sweepstakes industry in the state of Florida is incredibly popular right now and it has some pretty broad regulations in the state that many other states have never really allowed. And because of these more liberal and full sweepstakes policies, the internet cafes are now riding a fine line of legality by offering internet café visitors the opportunity to buy internet time in trade for entry into various sweepstakes – a practice that the Florida tracks claim is really a front for forms of illegal internet gambling.

Traditionally the tattling of one industry on another is not hugely popular – after all, their in similar businesses but not, arguably, targeting the same market. The race tracks though are sinking in the states and horse and dog tracks all over the United States have had an amazingly hard time finding the funds to stay afloat – for that reason they are willing to stop any and all businesses that many be taking needed funds out of the tracks, particularly if that’s the online casino gambling industry.

The Florida courts will be left to decide if these internet cafes are riding on the right side of the thin line, and if their found to actually be operating as online casinos they could face large fines and be forced to close down all operations. The internet cafes are not going to take the allegations sitting down though, they defend that theirs is a basic business that offers customers the chance to buy certain goods from the café and then receive certain rewards and benefits along the way.
