- Saturday, 15 Jul 2006
Richard Caborn, the UK Sports and Gambling Minister, is currently in Gibraltar at the invitation of the Gibraltar Government. The minister has expressed interest in seeing how Gibraltar operates in its role as the leading global jurisdiction for gambling online. Industry players and the government alike now have the chance to continue their lobby of the UK and other governments in relation to access to gambling on the Internet for their particular markets.
With various functions, tours, and meetings, Mr. Caborn will be busy seeing and learning about the gambling operations that go on in Gibraltar, and learn more about the online casino industry in general. With the UK legalizing gambling on the Internet, it is understandable that this minister would want to have a behind-the-scenes look at how the gambling world functions from the leading online casinos operating jurisdiction.
As gambling on the Internet grows more and more popular, countries and governments around the world will have to realize that this industry is a force to be reckoned with, and one that is not going to go away in the near future, if at all. Learning about the gambling industry, especially that of the Internet, will only benefit world governments as they debate and consider the advantages and disadvantages of legalizing and regulating online casino sites for their citizens. This meeting between Richard Caborn and the gambling operators in Gibraltar could be a stepping-stone in the road to legalized online gambling.
