While the debate over a 12-month moratorium on new interactive gaming
licenses in Australia gains momentum, the federal government has been accepting
submissions for its own examination of the topic. One such submission came from
World Wide Wagering & Gaming Consultants, which IGN has obtained.
"The submission attempts to discuss positive social attributes available by
Internet type gaming (centralized accounts) albeit distributed customers,"
explained WWWager's Alan Pedley. "Additionally, the previous Productivity
Commission and Senate Select Committee on Information reports are cited in a
factual manner rather than by vague reference to problem gambling and concluding
a link to Internet-based gambling which seems to date been the folly of the
politicians."
