A subsidiary of the American International Game Technology, the Barcrest Group, launched the King of Aztecs slots, something that was already a big hit in the land-based casinos.

South African Gambling News

South Africa appeared all set to legalize gambling, but somehow the steps recommended were never actually taken. Today, this has come to be deemed as being an illegal practice and is experiencing a cut down at each turn. There had been the decision to issue as many as 40 online licenses.

This would have generated higher employment figures which could have benefitted the nation’s economy as well. But those who have already been a part of this industry and those who were hoping to strike gold here have now realized that no such legalization is going to take place. Minister Rob Davies categorically specified that although many South African local casino operators had gone big online, the ministry did not feel any pressure to make online gambling legal. Under his aegis, the Department of Trade and Industry created the Gambling Review Commission which then submitted a report stating that the gambling industry, although small, is a “maturing” industry.

Online gambling today is outlawed, although land casinos, horse racing, or lotteries continue to remain. Breaking this law can lead to imprisonment for nearly ten years. The debate continues as to whether this move is indeed for protection of the land-based casino interests or whether this decision of a handful has been literally imposed on thousands who may have had reservations against such a move.

New License For Foreign Operators

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:00 am

After many speculations, the UK announced its new gambling regulations concerning online gambling practiced by foreign casino operators. Hearing the multiple complaints advanced by the casino operators based in the United Kingdom, the Department of Sports, Media and Culture decided that they were being unfairly taxed when compared to their foreign competitors. This had incidentally led many large gambling houses to shift their bases out of the country because of the heavy duties they were being made to pay. In contrast, the companies which had become part of online gambling jurisdictions had to pay far less in tax. In spite of this, they had the freedom to advertise their websites through UK online gaming sites and were collecting revenues from local UK players.

This loss of revenue worried the UK government, and acting on the complaints put forward by the local operators introduced new licensing rules. According to the new regulations, the foreign online casinos could continue to stay and operate from the UK but must acquire a secondary license, this time from UK Gambling Commission. The new rule makes all online operators from foreign shores subject to the same rules as applicable to those based in the UK. In addition, they would have the obligation to report any illegal betting practices to the Gambling Commission in an effort to stop corruption in betting. So, this makes it compulsory for those operators who had shifted to the places like the Isle of Man to obtain their licenses in the UK as well. Although obtaining this license will never be a challenge, this move expects to curtail the advantages such operators were hitherto enjoying compared to their UK counterparts. With this announcement, there are expected to be changes in the new tax structure for online gambling in the United Kingdom and new licensing fees too.
