The American Gaming Association is actively involved in the fight against illegal gambling in the country without supporting offshore or illegal software developers. All offshore sites are considered illegal, so it is planned to ban their activities completely. Recently, the president of the AGA announced that the organization decided to seek help from Google, which also does not accept such gambling, actively working to eliminate it from the gambling market.
Solving the problem of illegal gambling
Nowadays, bookmakers and sports betting are actively developing in the United States. It is noted that the number of illegal establishments increased by 40% last year. Many developers are trying to draw attention to their illicit products, which hurts the entire modern gambling market.
The CEO of AGA emphasized the urgent need to take serious action to tackle the problem of illegal gambling. Previously, it was unpleasant, but now the situation is becoming tenser, risking altogether taking the gambling market out of the control of the Association. The head of the AGA reflects the views of all industry members who work legally.
Many legal companies believe that illegal immigrants should be subject to severe penalties. At the moment, it is thought that offshore real estate alone accounts for about $15 billion. That is why unregulated operators have an undoubted advantage over legal establishments.
This year, a corresponding application was sent to the prosecutor’s office to introduce criminal liability for illegal gambling. Despite this, the number of unlawful establishments continues to increase. This problem can pose a severe threat to the US market, so an effective action plan is already being developed to combat such manifestations.
Risks and propensity of players for illegal gambling
Despite the strict standardization and regulation of the local gambling market, many players prefer to play in illegal establishments for some reason. As a rule, many offshore websites appear in the top positions when using search engines. That is why the AGA management turned to Google to ensure the search engine is safe. At the same time, offshore sites have other benefits for customers than legal establishments, exacerbating the situation.
For example, you can place larger bets on an offshore site on sports events. You can also hold large deposits, which many other bookmakers do not provide.
Discussion of the topic of offshore gambling is becoming more and more relevant. This issue is under active discussion. Now the Association is trying its best to ensure that customers switch to the services of legal bookmakers and online casinos.
