The UK government is planning to hold an international summit on online
gambling before the year is out.
The goal will be to devise a set of international standards that can be
applied to the industry to promote business while at the same time protecting
consumers. Britain was one of the first countries in the world to legalise
online gambling.
"The key reason for the
2005
Gambling Act was to regulate new forms of gambling, providing tougher
protections for children and the vulnerable," said
Tessa
Jowell, Secretary of State for
Culture, Media and
Sport.
"But we can only go so far alone. This is a global issue that requires a
global solution."
A Culture, Media and Sport spokesman explained that the conference would
bring together governments, regulatory agencies and legitimate gambling
operators to ensure that consumers are protected and that the market for
reputable services can flourish.
Controls are also needed to ensure that organised crime does not move into
the online gambling field, that advertising is legal, decent, honest and
truthful and that the vulnerable are protected from the consequences of gambling
addiction.
