Calling for Controls

Two prominent researchers within the Australian land and online casino gambling market have released new opinions this week that indicate that they feel the Australian government needs stronger national controls on the gambling industry. Linda Hancock and Michael O’Neil are two academics who have examined the Australian gambling industry and concluded that the Aussie states are too reliant on gambling revenues and because of this reliance are not properly caring for the potential problem and underage gamblers in the market. Although the online casinos are mostly blocked in the market already, land gambling is a huge industry that is completely regulated by state governments within Australia, a fact that both academics have been incredibly critical about.

Both academics filed the report with the national government with their opinions and support for a nationally regulated and controlled gambling industry very clear. Additionally, they very clearly did not mention the current debates over an Australian online casino gambling industry but seem to back up Senator Nick Xenophon and others in a general disdain and lack of support for legalized internet gambling. The biggest action that the report calls for are more federal government level policies that will force the casinos and betting venues to better assist and identify problem gambling in the market, rather than let it run rampant.

This report is just one of the latest criticisms to factor into the huge debate that is now waging in Australia as free-rights advocates fight possible internet censorship policies that would block out the online casinos while a handful of Aussie politicians campaign hard to pass through regulations that would severely censor the internet and limit personal freedoms.
