UK looking to revise online casino regulations

Though online gambling is popular throughout much of Europe, few countries have gotten it down to a science as much as the UK. Thanks to some smart regulations, the government has created an environment that is beneficial to all parties involved. Despite the success, the UK is working on new regulations to make it even better.

Perhaps the biggest question at hand deals with players’ personal information. Whether participating in online roulette or slots, the importance of preserving a customer’s sensitive financial info is second to none. According to Casino.com, this issue was highlighted when the United States government recently indicted some website for their unscrupulous business practices.

Also at the crux of the new regulations are laws that deal with the sponsorships of sports teams. Regardless of the changes in policy, Secretary for Culture, Media and Sports, Jeremy Hunt says that the UK will still have its popular gaming industry.

It remains to be seen just how much the move will impact popular websites like 777 Dragon Online Casino and Jackpotjoy.
