TV Show Suggest False Claims Regarding Online Casino Industry
A new TV special about online casino gambling, which aired on Sunday the 26th of November ignited various comments. The show was titled "Online Gambling: Britain's New Obsession" and aired as a part BBC's 'Panorama' program. The show portrayed online casino gambling as addictive and concluded that as many as a "Million a year could get hooked!" This for illustration of the online casino industry resulted in many objections and counter-claims that started even before the actual airing date, as publicity material reached the public before the 26th.
The program suggested that the United Kingdom's government has underestimated the number of online casino gamblers, and that the real figure is considerably higher. This might affect the general approach in England, where regulating the online casino industry seems to be the current direction. The show quoted academic scholars that commented about online casino gambling being addictive and potentially hazardous. The information on the show was not new, and there were elements that tried using such claims before. It's sad to see that people are overlooking the real essence of online gambling, and the main issue tends to be forgotten.
The main message carried by the show was that regulating the online casino industry in the United Kingdom might contribute to the number of problematic gamblers in Britain. This is obviously absurd, and that further study into the process of regulation will show that such a claim has no basis. By regulating the market, and forcing operators to promote responsible gambling, the number of problematic gamblers will only drop. There's more to online casino gambling than people will want you to know.
