Australians are some of the world's most prolific gamblings. However, there are no home-based licenced online casinos. All Aussie players have to go offshore to enjoy casino games. But they can still gamble at Australian sportsbooks. Now, there's a move to the use of credit cards for this form of entertainment. Even the banks have gotten behind this. Not because they have any ethical considerations about gambling. But rather because they can see some customers having serious financial problems.

Thanks to advances in both mobile and internet technologies, we have seen a massive increase in the number of UK gamblers visiting online casinos. As a result, successive governments have introduced new regulations and rules. Many of these are tied to the strict licencing requirements for online operators. These are designed to help problem gamblers, whilst at the same time still allowing the gambling industry to flourish. Also to ensure that online players are safe from scammers and hackers.
