Internet Gaming: a US View
1 December 2000
One of the biggest questions looming over the online gaming biz remains the status of prohibition attempts by the U.S. federal government. During the past few years there have been several attempts to prohibit the activity, most notably through the efforts of Senator Jon Kyl and Rep. Bob Goodlatte. At the same time, there have been a number of legal cases impacting both the prohibition efforts and gaming site operators. Law professor Joseph Kelly, well-known for his in-depth studies of Internet gambling, takes a look at the most recent events in a paper, entitled "Internet Gaming: a US View," which he presented this week during the Fourth Annual International Symposium on Internet Gambling Law and Management. »
A Desktop Conference with Peter Dean
1 December 2000
A steady flow of British gaming groups is finding its way to various offshore locations where the companies are setting up virtual casinos. Those companies would just as soon keep their Internet businesses in Great Britain, but the United Kingdom has no regulatory system in place. That could change next summer when the U.K. Gambling Review Body makes its recommendations for changing the country's antiquated gambling policies. Seated among the 10-person panel is Gaming Board Chairman Peter Dean, and IGN was fortunate enough to catch up with him last week for his and the Board's views on the prospect of Internet casino gambling in the U.K. The discussion, between Dean and IGN Publisher Sue Schneider, is available as part of IGN's popular Desktop Conference series. For a limited time, both subscribers and non-subscribers can access the conference for free.
