Fighting the Online Casino Sites

Several nations have begun to simply surrender to the knowledge that the online casino gambling industry is ubiquitous and there is no way to fully stop the industry from accessing any particular market. These countries have embraced the notion of “if you can’t bet ‘em, join ‘em” – a solid approach to the online casinos actually. But then there are those handful of countries that refuse to recognize the pervasive inevitability of the internet gambling industry. They fight the industry. They put up bans, blocks, filtering software and monopolies. A few have even instituted tough legal penalties and fines for internet gambling activity. And none of this has really had any actual affect on the level of internet gambling in these countries.

There is no effective way to block the online casinos, gamblers are going to find a way to gamble via offshore sites if they’ve a mind to do it. This is the fact that many countries have accepted and they are no benefiting from a highly controlled market with proper safeguards for their citizens and proper tax incentives for the government coffers. Then you have the other countries. Like the US, which has quite unsuccessfully blocked the transactions with foreign online casino sites. Or perhaps Australia, which is, right at this moment, attempting to place huge content censorship and ISP filtering measures in place – a sure infringement on internet freedoms.

These are just two countries, though! There are others. China is also attempting content censorship…and will likely succeed because of the government’s tight control. And not to be left out are the handful of European Union countries that are violating EU policies just to keep monopolies in place and foreign sites out of their markets. It’s amazing that these countries have not seen the inevitability of internet gambling and still attempt to block and ban the industry.
