Internet Gambling Law

Internet gambling is become a challenge for legislature. Gambling is itself a controversial subject and law regarding gambling is always big concern for legislature. Gambling industry always tries to find out some new technology on gambling activity and invention of Internet gives them a new dimension on way of playing gambling. Today popularity of online gambling is more than land-based casino. There are so many reasons for increasing demand of online gambling. Online gambling is now a million dollar industry. There are near about 1800 sites on Internet where you can play online gambling. But interestingly, only four hundred sites are registered over Internet.  Online casino is also a more profit making business compare to offline casino.

Though Internet gambling gains popularity within a short period of time but it has so many disadvantages. Gambling addiction rate is quite more in online gambling. Online gambler more frequently addicted with gambling then offline gambler due to following reasons:

  • The ability to gamble 24 hours in a day from home.

  • The decreases in the perception of the value of cash - i.e. players are forgetting that they are spending money.

  • Easy accessibility.

  • Lack of clear/applicable statute.

Basically youth are easily addicted with online gambling as they are habitual with surfing Internet. They are also curious about illegal things.

Now it is very necessary to put some restriction on online gambling, otherwise it will squeeze our younger generation. Though we all aware with adverse effects of online gambling but it is very difficult to stop Internet gambling. The law regarding online gambling is not well defined and implementation of such law is difficult due to technicalities.

Though Internet gambling is not legal but it is difficult to prevent someone gambling online. Gambling crazy people can gamble through Internet from any site around the world. If online gambling is illegal in one state then people of that can gamble on websites based in another land and law unable to prevent them.

On Internet however, legal gambling is also difficult to implement. As we know the minimum age for gambling is 18 years, but how do you find the age of a gambler on Internet. Therefore lawmakers become confused when they are drafting any law for online gambling. Internet gambling law is, therefore, not clear anywhere and to make it effective there must be some uniform law in everywhere around the world. Hence its totally depends upon the citizen as how they accept the new forms of gambling. You can welcome Internet gambling either your favorite leisure activity or your earning opportunity.
