In Australia, the government does not license online casino operators to offer their services to local residents. However, the online gambling market is becoming harder to ignore, and the local government is currently reviewing the Interactive Gambling Act in order to determine just how to proceed with the process of online gambling regulation.

While most residents believe that it is about time that the government updated the gambling act to include online gambling, poker machine manufacturers and gaming club owners are not impressed with the news. Many believe that online gaming will take away from their revenue stream, as more players will chose to gambling online. These concerns only seem to be in vain, however.

Around the world, online gambling has only helped to boost the land-based market. In the United Kingdom, land-based bookmakers and poker rooms have seen more activity since the advent of online gambling. In Las Vegas, casino operators support online gambling legislation as they recognize that it will increase business.

So, it is hoped that land-based gambling operators will eventually get on board with the plan without too much resistance.
