Right2Bet focuses on safe and fair gambling

4 December 2009

(PRESS RELEASE) -- One of the most important aspects of the Right2bet campaign is the emphasis on safe, fair, regulated gambling. Much of the concern from those who oppose deregulation in the Online casino and sportsbook industry revolves around the addictive nature of the pastime (especially amongst younger users), the use of illegally obtained funds or the influence of criminal syndicates.

Right2bet understands these concerns, which is why the campaign regards this as an extremely important issue. There is no question that a completely unregulated market is not in the customers' best interests, not only due to the possibilities of addiction, but also the unscrupulous activities of some casino operators (who have been known to write programs to cheat human players) and the actions of professional gambling rings.

The best way of avoiding these pitfalls is by having a properly regulated system, whereby any bookmaker or casino based in and licensed by the European Union can operate in any E.U member state, without fear of persecution by the country's government. A continent wide regulatory body should be set up to oversee the industry, which could be easily accessed by affected users, from players worried about the legitimacy of a casino, to online casinos checking the validity of a high-rollers funding.

A regulatory body could also offer advice and help to problem gamblers, many of whom have been drawn to an addiction based on false understandings. For example, a recent British study claimed that the increase in gambling addiction amongst students in the country was due to a trend up and down the nation's mathematics departments, where some of the top young thinkers had made large sums of cash during the economic downturn and had given the impression to other students that online games of chance were a sure-fire way to back up the student loan.

All things considered, Right2bet feels that this is the way forward: a properly overseen free market within Europe, offering the same rights to all customers. If you agree with these views, please visit the site at www.right2bet.net and sign the petition!
