Australian Government Plans To Test Internet Filters For Online Gambling

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

The Australian government is planning to test internet filters that will help prevent its citizens from accessing online casinos. Senator Steve Fielding, who unsurprisingly campaigns under the “Family First” banner, wants a compulsory policy forcing service providers to filter available sites.

Australian political observers say the government is under pressure from a vocal minority to require Internet Service Providers to block not only illegal material, such as child pornography, but anything of which they disapprove, such as online gambling sites, fetish sites, and whatever comes next.

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy had promised that anyone unhappy with the censorship of the Internet could opt out of the filtering plan, but Conroy’s tune has changed. Now he says that there will be a two-tiered system. Adults wishing to drop out of the block against websites deemed dangerous to children could do so. But all Australians would be barred from sites thought dangerous to adults, which may contain Internet casinos as well as x-rated material featuring consenting adults.

The blacklist would be administered by the Australian Communications and Media Authority. This would mean that all Australians would be barred from sites thought dangerous to adults, which may contain Internet casinos.

Online Casinos Announce Live Dealers

Monday, August 11th, 2008

One of the main reasons some players find it difficult to trust the online casino environment is because of the electronic dealers for most table games.

The online gaming world is changing quickly, however, now that many are offering live dealers.  Now players who have been hesitant in the past can try their luck with a real live dealer!

This new innovation is going to change the online gambling industry in a positive way by bringing credibility to the sites as well as bringing the online casino atmosphere almost as realistic as land-based casinos.

CEO of 1 Gaming, Michele Guarino, said, “We believe that live dealer-dealt online casinos are a natural progression from traditional RNG (Random Number Generator) casinos, as technological developments and improvement of consumer broadband speeds now enable high quality live video streaming.”

Players will now enjoy the experience of having real dealers shuffle real cards, making a more trustworthy atmosphere.

Director of casino operations for GPS, Lawrence Davis, said, “Live Dealer casino games are relatively new to this industry and feedback from our players has been tremendous.”

“Our players feel more comfortable seeing the cards shuffled and dealt in front of thier own eyes as opposed to the computer randomly dealing cards.”
