Online Casino Launched By Sealand Micronation

Sealand is a small nation located off the coast of Suffolk, England. Even the number of citizens it is pretty small (around 20 member-citizens), Sealand has it’s own flag & currency. Also, they have a website from where you can find out more about the state.

However, the peculiar state is getting ready to get a slice of the gambling cake launching an online gambling casino. Now, you all must agree that Sealand would be most comfortable on the Web, as it is hardly a land.

The micro-nation which was founded on September 2, 1967 by Major Paddy Roy Bates faced international confrontation frequently, having never received recognition officially. However it has gone on to print local stamps, effectively running as a state, although a really small one.

The online casino is expected to launch on the festive 40th anniversary of Sealand, on September 2, 2007. Yet, it is unclear at the time how the online gambling site will provide appropriate international banking services for its clients due do their policy and recognition confrontations.

Now, the announcement of this launch will generate an interesting effect on the gambling market, especially if you consider the U.S, which opposes online gambling and the U.K who’s working to regulate the entire market. Up until now, all we’ve heard are rumors and comments like what welcome bonuses will be able to offered by the online casino, seeing that it never even welcomes tourists or visitors, situated on a World War II floating pontoon facility.

After Major Paddy Roy Bates announced that the state is also on sale there are also comments saying that the winning jackpots may actually go towards buying the house altogether.

In the end, whichever way it goes, we are sure to hear more about the new micro-nation’s online casino.
