Welcome to My Gambling Legislation Blog

I would like to start by thanking you for visiting my blog and to wish you a heartfelt welcome. I have been working on this blog for many months now and the time has come for it to see the light of day. As you could probably tell from the title, this blog will include topics on online gambling regulations from all over the world. The development and constant growth of Internet gambling sites has forced the governments of many countries to create an appropriate legislation meant to regulate and tax these services accordingly.

During my research, I noticed once again the importance of having such laws, not only for paying taxes, which you should always do, no doubt about it, but also for ensuring a safe and secure gambling environment for all players. If you have played at such sites before the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act came in force in November last year, you probably noticed that there is a big difference between then and now.

The first and most important change is, of course, the presence of a gambling licence issued by the UK Commission and the thing that matters most to us is that all operators are required to have the number published on their site. Another thing of great interest to most of us are the RTPs (return to player percentage) for all game categories and even individually for specific games. Now, most online casinos go as far as having their payout percentages verified by international organizations such as eCogra or GLI. This way you can have access to all the information you need to help you choose the most advantageous games and this is also solid proof that their payouts are fair and transparent. These are, however, only few aspects concerning the recent legislations concerning online gambling. I will cover more interesting and useful information in the following articles, so stay tuned.
