The Positive implications of the arrest of David Carruthers
By George Oates, Nov 10th 2006Now, because there have been so many arrests of online casino executives in the United States, the online gambling industry is thinking on what to do in the near future, after all the debates have been settled. The company that had his executive arrested some weeks ago, Bet on Sports has already blocked US users from accessing their site and gambling.
All this is likely an attempt to minimize federal attention drawn to the company, however, over the course of the American proceedings Bet on Sports will come under the microscope anyway. There is of course another aspect to all these stories.
If the online casino world would literally play its cards right, and restrained its tendency to ignore federal laws while thinking it can get away with it, the investigation into David Carruthers and Bet on Sports could be concluded to be nothing serious for the future of online casino gambling in the United States.
So if online casino companies will learn to respect the laws of the United States, or learn to work within the law and with lawmakers to tell them about the economic advantages of supervising the online casinos not simply ban them. This is a possible scenario, to which the end would be that Americans may one day be able to freely gamble online. There is always the possibility for the online casino world to do things the wrong way, thus the incident could turn into a really negative thing for the casino industry.
By saying that the online casinos do not play their cards right we are referring to the fact that the operators of such casinos, will not have learned anything from the experience of a major executive being arrested, and will continue to operate on the assumption that the way forward is to flout US laws while in pursuit of their bottom lines.
The bottom line is that at present, the online casino industry needs to be cautious when attempting to achieve their ultimate goals mainly the legalization of online casinos in the US. They should seek online gambling acceptance in the United States gradually, and really learn patience.
