Politics and Online Gambling

What has politics got to do with gambling? Actually they have a lot in common. In gambling you have to rely on luck, skills and strategy and in politics you have to gamble your way up...Is pretty simple. But when it comes to politics nothing can surprise us anymore.

Schwarzenegger, Jesse Ventura and Ronald Ragan were all actors that made their way into politics. So we didn't question our selves when the owner of one famous online casino affirmed his desire to enter politics. The online casino owner, supposed to be a billionaire, is playing on a socialist platform. Online casinos have provided the grounds of internet entertainment and some of the money produced by this industry is now started to find its way into the political field.

Aaron Shaked is part of the rich family that runs some of the well known online casinos. After making a fortune in the online gambling business he has stated that he will run for politics in Israel where he lives. He sustains the Labor Party and will be running on a socialist platform. If you know how to run a casino, why shouldn't you know how to run the country!? Many politicians ahead of Shaked came from the entertainment environment, so why wouldn't this online casino entrepreneur get implicated as well?

Online casino gambling is becoming more widely accepted in spite of the pressures from the anti gambling lobby. Now, people from all over the world take part in online casino gambling. Is a form of entertainment that we can't deny anymore without insulting the freedom of choice.
