The Search for an International Model for Internet Gambling
22 Jul 1998
As noted previously, both Australia and the United States are confronting much the same issues and dilemmas in their attempt to frame public policy towards Internet or other home gambling. However, as previously noted, my view is that Australia approaches the topic from the perspective of "legalized gambling" as part of its cultural mainstream, indigenous gambling businesses that need to be supported, and a significant source of government revenue. The United States, on the other hand, tends to approach legalized gambling as a "tainted" activity, one that - at least prior to the current generation - was tolerated at best; and is viewed as an unholy activity by an active minority in the population.
