Many children, who have not attained their majority, play games of chance online. This problem gives rise to a number of discussions and every possible debate all over the world. The opponents of the online and land casino industry use statistics concerning underage gambling as argument for the reason of blocking or forbidding gambling sites. But on the other hand, casinos assure that advancement in the software and working out new technologies of identity identification show that not many underage children can really get to a gaming zone to play online. But despite all pros and cons, everybody understands that there is a real threat which absorbs every day more and more children. The new Canadian Clinic, one of the first clinics in the world which addresses the issue of adolescent gambling addiction.

This clinic is unique. Its programs are calculated not only on online and land casino underage players, but also on teenagers addicted to video games and the Internet.

With the invention of computers, an Internet, and the development of new technologies the present generation has faced problems which the past generation did not know. The online gambling industry is a little more than ten years old, so the regulation is an initial stage. The real problem consists in that there are still areas which have not amended their gambling restrictions and regulations.

After the Constitutional amendment passed in Germany this January gambling in this country is no easy at the moment. Actually the government of Germany is in the middle of some serious dispute over the new controversial legislation targeted foreign as well as domestic online casinos and gambling companies. Tipp24 AG is the main argument and actually they took this case into the courts. However, the news from the Constitutional Court is not good for Tipp24. The Federal Court decided that the appeal of Tipp24 that is based on Constitutional freedoms and rights wasn’t justified.

During the past several years the online gambling industry has become very tangled because some countries try to use new legislation and adjust existing laws with these new laws concerning the online casino industry. The difficulty of the issue, however, for companies that are interested in the German gambling market is in that that foreign casinos are hit hard by the new legislation. On the other hand, Tipp24 has some rights in the country’s market still, but the new legislation destroyed these rights and at the point has limited the gaming and lottery offerings from the company in different parts of the country.

And it is interesting why Germany courts sided with the German government in spite of protests from the online gambling community and the European Commission warnings because Germany violates policies and practices of European Union. So, like a number of other countries the government is pulling the argument of safety in spite of the fact the online gambling industry is much safer than before and all the main casino sites have specific technology to prevent casino gambling addictions.

If you look around at the online gambling industry, you will see that online gambling sites and software development companies are slowly starting to understand the irrefutable necessity of variety. The variety is said to be the spice of life, and online casinos seem to agree with this. Last year the 888 gambling group announced a unique integrated platform with the best online games which every software developer should offer and put all these games into one cohesive online casino gambling experience. Since then, increasing number of gambling companies has taken up the idea of adjustable gambling platforms and it is getting the industry’s trend.

At the moment players visit online casinos expecting to have much more from them than they have wanted before. Now online gamblers want to play at the casinos that have the latest graphics and technology and all this should be integrated into every game. Many players specifically search for gambling platforms with an instant gaming offer. Some players also want to see a wide suite of slots with branded themes to choose from and others look for a wide variety of poker games, blackjack, keno, craps, and so on.

Since now there are a lot of the possibilities in the gambling industry and the number of online casinos are constantly growing there are loads of online software providers that are willing to go into the industry and offer things others do not have. So, while there is tough competition between the online casinos and software developers, there is also enough room for the companies that can offer completely distinct and adjustable platforms providing players exactly with what they want.

Ukash has recently announced that it is going to offer Ukash vouchers in Spain, as the country is turning into one of the hottest online gambling markets in Europe. The company signed a deal with Telefonica, the leading telecommunications operator in the Spain and Portugal, and soon Ukash will be available at 70,000 phone kiosks that are equipped to accept bills for issuing e-mails and SMS to users who can use their funds for online services and goods then.

After upgrading their kiosks, Telefonica has been looking for new services like Ukash, to which the majority of Spaniards don’t have access. Taking into account that Telefonica has penetrated into country areas of Spain more people in Spain will be able to use the Ukash service.

Ukash is going to do this via an advertising campaign. And certainly, one more way to drive business is to spread the word to the Spanish online casino community. A large part of the company’s business is connected with online gambling, but traffic at betting and online casinos sites that accept stakes from Spanish residents is nothing to mock at.

Ukash, the trading name of Smart Voucher Ltd., is regulated by the UK Financial Services Authority. The company has been carrying on business since 2001. It offers its services to the residents of the UK, Ireland and Germany and now to Spaniards. To use their service, consumers just deposit their money at an approved store or kiosk that accepts PayPoint, e-pay or payzone. Then customers will receive a unique and secure 19-digit code through SMS that can be used to purchase online goods and services.

Last week Casinomeister.com, the online gambling information site? issued the warning against an online casino operator. It was a warning for online gamblers about broken promises and ignored communications from the side of some gambling sites.

The most serious complaint was from a gambler who won $33,500 but couldn’t get the winning from BeTheDealer for several months. The casino had promised to pay out the player the winnings via installments but had not followed up with that after having made the first payout. Then the casino had decided to skip another 2 payouts. At the moment the player made a decision to ask for advice and help from the players’ advocate.

First BeTheDealer had not had any wish to discuss the case but then they assured Casinomeister that this player was given “a solution”. They asserted that the mentioned player had accepted this “solution”, and the casino promised to pay out all the rest money within some days.

But they didn’t do this. Once again Casinomeister called BeTheDealer to account and they knew that they had changed a date for the payouts to be made. At the point it seems that they can’t be conclusion to this problem. All the e-mails from Casionmeister.com and the player to the online casino BeTheDealer and to the manager have not received any replies.

So, Casinomester has issued a caution to warn all the players that BeTheDealer does not pay their players after they have accepted the terms of the payout. The casino management has more than once been making and breaking their commitments and the result is that players have not received their payments.

The recent Kentucky legislation faces more and more opponents, remind you that the new law will permit the Kentucky government to close all the domain names (and this is more than 141 internet gambling sites) of the online casinos working permanently or from time to time at the Kentucky market. The first who started to object to this decision were certainly online casinos and registrars of the domain names. Then the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGS) decided to organize the protest action and wrote the letter from the head of KGS to the Kentucky Governor Steve Besher. The Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative (SSIGI) was the next who expressed its opinion and objected to such strict methods as the domain names seizing.

The Kentucky lawyers has announced that according to the law the state officials have had the right to confiscate illegal gambling equipment, but the representatives of the gambling industry disagree that the domain names can be classified as “gambling equipment”. Steve Besher, the Governor has also received a deprecative letter from the SSIGI, in which was written that the illegal online casinos were a great problem all over the world and in the USA, it had to be regulated and the existing situation had to be changed, but closing of the domain names was wrong decision.

The simple prohibition of the online gambling can’t be effective and can’t give necessary results, the proof is the failure of the US’s controversial UIGEA. The next week the courts will try to investigate this important problem.
