Casino News: Revise Online Gambling Ban; this is what EU tells Germany

German Regions are warned by the European Commission to think about the opportunity of revising plans to ban online gambling or if they don’t they may be faced with possible legal actions, this was said by an official at the European executive arm last week. This action is just one of the recent heated clashes that have taken place between Brussels and European Union countries. These arguments are basically all over the gambling industry, which is limited to several European countries that have state controlled monopolies. Guenter Verheugen and European Industry Commissioner wrote to the German regional state government on Friday, entitling them to just a month to amend a certain draft agreement on this particular issue, which was verified by the European State official later verifying that what was stated by Reuters was the truth.

The commission official stated that “we asked Germany to reconsider the total ban on lottery and sports betting on the internet. We think a proposed total ban is disproportionate and there are less restrictive measures, such as mandatory prior registration and strict guarantees on identification”. Two countries with thriving online gaming industries, Austria and Britain, have already put their opinions in by contesting the ban. Online gambling can be a good way of bringing job opportunities, tax benefits and financial benefits to the table. All the online gambling sites have to do is convince the government that all of these things are possible and will come into action if they let them have online gambling in those countries.

Many people think that the online gaming business is really not all that it is cracked up to be, that is why it is important is order to get everyone’s vote to inform them on the benefits and what it means to the country. In this day and age no one is really into change, in which they really need to be because the world is changing more and more everyday. Governments are also scared of change because they do not know what the change has in store for them. Why some countries are completely against gambling other countries may be able to be persuaded into giving at least one shot and then if it doesn’t play out as expected they will take the steps to get rid of it all together. If you truly want gambling in your country you are going to have to fight for it.
