If you gamble online you probably have a gambling addiction. That is what the latest studies say. The American Psychological Association (APA) found that 74% of people who gamble online are “problematic” or “pathological” gamblers. This is just fuel for the fire of those who want to ban Internet gambling. The problem is how to stop gambling online. Most casinos are based off-shore and in countries with no Internet regulations. The government is looking at solutions for the problem.
Traditional casinos thrive because they are full of distractions hat keep you playing and not paying attention to your losses. There is free flowing alcohol to dumb down your senses. The oxygen blowing in the air keeps you fresh and the casinos are a maze of fun and cheering crowds. This all sounds like fun but they are major reasons why you lose your money. Playing online can keep you focused on winning money and in control at all times.
Laundering money at a casino has long been a practice for organized crime. With the large amount of online casinos popping up there is now a easier and safer way for criminals to wash their dirty money. By setting up cash accounts at online casinos situated in countries with weak gambling laws it is easy to transfer dirty money to clean money. A “gambler” creates an account and loads it with dirty money. The gambler plays a little and then decides to cash out. A cheque is sent by the casino giving the gambler clean money.
