Gambling commission approved by Jersey
 December 6, 2009, 10:39 am (2 years ago)According to This Is Jersey, after the additional details were provided upon requested by legislators in Jersey the perception of a Gambling Commission was accepted by the States this week.
The agreed conclusion opens the doors for an internet gambling business on the self-governing Channel Island just off the French coast, making Jersey the newest online gambling licensing jurisdiction.
What comes next is a discussion on the core of e-gaming legislation next year, allowing people from Jersey to enter a new business of websites operating online gambling services, including online poker and sports betting sites.
Jersey joins some small island jurisdictions, such as Guernsey, Alderney, the Isle of Man and Gibraltar in launching online gambling industries.
Economic Development Minister Alan Maclean has been the key person for the scheme, which was accepted in principle back in 2005.
