UK Government toughens laws against
online casinos’ advertisements
(Nov. 11, 2005)
The British Government
is about to enforce laws put into place, against a number of
recommended online
casinos, that have been promoting and advertising all over England in a
direct violation of the British law. At present, Internet casino
companies advertise their sites and games on taxis, the London
Underground and in other public places.
Unlike traditional British
best online casinos that are forbidden to advertise,
offshore betting companies are allowed to do so, as they are located
outside the jurisdiction of UK law. Nevertheless, current state laws
disallow them to advertise any encouragements to gamble, such as
registration bonuses and potential jackpots.
Tessa Jowell, the UK culture secretary, was reported as saying that,
since many
new online casinos ignore the aforementioned restriction, and
continue publishing the forbidden advertisements, she will push for the
prosecution of these law-breakers. Joining forces with the state
Gambling Commission, Jowell intends to punish whoever knowingly violates
the law.
