Stringent Gambling Laws Imposed By The British Gambling Authorities

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , , — OCE News @ 12:16 pm

Online gambling companies which have legal permits and licenses have always been very successful drawing huge profits in the UK. But the country appears to nurture a stepmotherly attitude where offshore-licensed gambling companies are concerned. A clear indication of this has been the recent order by the country’s gambling authorities to pay taxes if they wished to advertise their online services to British residents.

This decision actually comes in the wake of the departure of many online betting sites from the United Kingdom due to the heavy taxations imposed on them by British authorities. The taxes imposed on such offshore gambling giants have been much higher than those charged by other gambling jurisdictions. A senior source in the government leaked this sensitive information and revealed that the aim of the UK government is not simply to oust these offshore gambling powers from advertising in their country. They also target to stop punters using British credit cards on offshore gaming websites. It is believed that this sensitive information was deliberately disclosed to gauge the popular reactions.

Basically, the reason for this sudden order originated from complaints made by the licensed online gambling sites in the UK. They complained that they were being compelled to pay higher taxes than other rival offshore sites that had freedom to advertise on their sites and attract great numbers of UK players. This automatically was driving away traffic from the licensed UK sites. The UK now possesses a “white list” of acceptable online gambling authorities in which the sites have the permit to advertise in this country.
