A leading Canadian academic has called for the liberalizing of Canada’s online gambling industry as a way of providing better regulation to reduce gambling’s harmful effects.
June Cotte, a marketing associate professor at the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario, believes like any sane person that regulating online gambling is a far better way to control problem gambling than to criminalize gambling.
“One potential solution is to allow legitimate corporate sponsors, like the corporations that run the major casinos in Las Vegas or the government sponsors in Canada, to enter into a newly regulated market for online gambling,” said Cotte. “Just as legalised commercial gambling in casinos allows governments to regulate it, so, too, could the legalisation of online gambling allow for better regulation and attempts to reduce the growth of problem gamblers.”
Let’s hope more voices like this are heard in Canada which runs the serious risk of following the very flawed approach of the US. As we all know, online bingo and many online bingo hall operators were badly burned by the implementation of the notorious UIGEA legislation in the US. It actually forced Canadian online bingo games software developer Cryptologic to seek the friendlier shores of Europe rather than risk a Canadian version of UIGEA coming about – the lose was all Canada’s.
Another news is that online bingo is not far..
News that online bingo hall Jackpotjoy has signed a deal to provide its games via mobile phones is a sign of things to come as online gaming becomes more and more accessible.
At this time, Jackpotjoys progressive jackpots will be accessible via mobile phones and surely the sites flagship online bingo games are soon to follow. Being able to take your bingo online joy with you where ever you go has got to be one of the best developments since bingo went online in the first place.
