Illegal Gambling Thrives in Russia

The decision to move land gambling venues from major cities to remote regions of Russia resulted in a hole in the Russian gambling industry that is rapidly filled with illegal online casino gambling operations.

Making this decision, the Russian government hoped that it would help solve the problem of gambling addiction, but it did not, as lots of small gambling parlors have turned into “internet cafes” offering access to the online casinos, lottery and instant betting games. But because Russia does not allow legalized and licensed internet gambling, all of the sites offering gambling services to Russians are offshore gaming sites that are harder to catch and stop.

Mobile Gambling Grows

The variety if games available on mobile phones is not great, that’s why not many people sign up for mobile gaming. There are very few software development companies trying to expand the mobile gambling industry through new game releases, and WagerWorks is one of them.

WagerWorks offers a huge selection of games designed for online casinos. To say more, it remains very popular and reputable that could be a reason why its customers are interested in moving to the mobile platform.

The Cleopatra online slots game is the latest release of the company adjusted for the mobile platform.

German Online Casino Ban threatened

German Government prohibited online Casinos for the whole its territory and the only gambling entertainment the citizens can afford is horse racing. The ban actually contradicts the political views of the EU but this fact was of no importance and had little effect on the ban. Today they have one state comprising Germany which demands for this ban to be ended. The state leaders claim that in case if the national ban is not moved or reconsidered they will have to look for the internal solutions like interstate gambling licensing.

Anyway their supplications will be heard as the present treaty banning online casino will no longer be valid after 2012 and the German Monopoly will be left unprotected though the government has several times won the right to keep the closed gambling monopoly on German territory on the grounds of consumer protection, gambling victims issues which are easily solved when you have one system instead of out-of-control multiple entertainment organizations seeking for easy revenue.
