In recent weeks, we have already spoken several times about new approaches for the upcoming regulation of gambling in Australia. So far, we have largely shown possibilities only, but not questioned. For example, Australia wants to introduce face recognition to protect the players and adolescents in the future. In other countries such as the United Kingdom (Great Britain) all missions should be regulated to 2 pounds - whether slot machine or live casino. Is that possible and right?
GOer and youth protection in gambling
As already mentioned, countries such as Australia plan one Face recognition for gambling to introduce. The whole thing is justified with the argument that youth and player protection are the highest level of all things. Here we can only agree. However, such regulation will not work in countries as in Australia. After all, we are not in China, where already worked with face recognition in many areas of life. Privacy is not, but not to speak - in Australia, however (mostly) already.With which law should protective institutions be allowed to carry out such a verification? With nobody! A solution that is already offered in online casinos and local gamebanks would be the ID card to email or present before being played. The computer and all personal documents can and should protect parents independently and responsible for their children. Another idea would be to introduce a kind of "online identity", as is already the case with giro accounts. So, a unique verification in video chat with ID documents.
Furthermore we find the idea that No elements that appeal to children, in commercials or ads may be used, basically not bad. However, the question arises again: Who decides what children respond. The psychologist, parents or maybe the ministers? The latter would need experience for such a decision for more than 10 years - we remember the Legal situation in Australia.
Landing limits determined by the state
In the United Kingdom, gambling addiction is now considered a health crisis - a little overhead, but the media always enjoy it. In England, therefore, a maximum limit of 2 pounds per insert should be introduced. This regulation is already valid for stationary slot machines and should now also help OnlineCasino come into effect. Basically, the idea is not bad or reprehensible, there are some questions to answer (for Australia):
- For whom are 2 euros too much and for whom too little?
- How should that be checked?
- On the basis of the income possibly?
- Who controls that?
- What about very well-being people who have no "income" in principle?
- Is an annual examination at this regard?
- Who guarantees data protection?
- Who decides whether, for example, 1,000 euros per month are too much or too little?
Conclusion: More on the agenda as accepted?
We have addressed two areas that will definitely receive great attention in the discussions and work on the new Gambling State Treaty. As we can see, there is a lot to clarify and answer many questions that could result in even more questions. Here we have not addressed the tax aspects yet.Fact is, Australia must not make the same mistake as France. An unattractive market keeps new providers away and makes state providers not forcibly attractive. People would continue to go to South Sense casinos and do not support the domestic market.
For example, a good balance has found Denmark. Despite state regulation, the basis for players and providers is attractive. Again and again it is observed how new providers in the Scandinavian market penetrate and establish themselves. So we see, there are countries that give good inspirations for a new, optimized and reasonable gambling regulation in Australia.
