This week a 40 minute debate was held with government officials and ministers on the one side and sponsors of sports and online gambling on the other side. The problem was that the casinos will be sponsored by sport companies and the same thing around, which seems like a problematic enterprise to the British government and in specifics to the Minister of sports. “This is not a good thing, that both fields will be attached” said the minister. The minister mentioned that his ministry is working on the regulation law of the online gambling and that it is better off if they would deal with the online gambling sponsorships that way.

The law, I have received a word, that the British government is cooking – does not deal with the sponsorship yet. Only in September 2007 the online gambling regulation law will be brought to vote, and than they will start talking about whether or not to regulate the sponsorship issue. Online gambling regulation is some what quite a fact. This seems like the route in the UK. And this is going to bring in huge tax income to the British government. This means that the statement of the minister regarding the online gambling sponsorship issue is a minor obstacle in the regulation process.

The UK has been working on the regulation process for three months now. All of the British government is into it, as it might be a major tax producer. Online gambling in the UK is a major business – and now, it is the top of the entire world on the online gambling industry.
