Gambling is part of the entertainment industry, and has simply gone digital, global and online like the rest. Over seventy countries now permit I-gaming worldwide, and many license it under their sovereign authority. That includes the USA, where a dozen States license Internet services to take horse bets, and where such conservative States as Georgia, Virginia, and North Dakota are moving to accept Internet bets online. This is no bold, pioneering step–the lotteries of Canada, the UK and Europe have been online for years.
So I am here to ask Why have the Neteller founders been arrested but the company itself left alone? What DO the laws say? What do the people want? The aswers are simple. 1)the Bush administration’s efforts are getting uglier and meaner without accomplishing anything effective. 2)American gambling law remains the same muddle it always has been. 3) People want to be left alone to enjoy themselves.
Rumors have been heard that this is all a big business conspiracy–that American interests are preparing their way into the I-gaming market by outlawing the competition. Will the neo-prohibition crowd be able to accomplish their aim? Hardly. A $12 billion dollar industry is not going to disappear–in fact it is still on track to top $20 billion by 2010, and mobile-phone gaming is set to expand to a $16 billion market all by itself.
