The internet gambling industry is going through a time of great change. World governments are writing into law policies based on consumer protection and taxation. For example the United Kingdom recently passed a law that legalizes online gambling with the condition that casinos meet set guidelines for UK players.

Then there are other countries who are in the midst of internet gambling regulation, like the United States. For years, US congress has been battling over whether or not to allow US players the ability to deposit funds in offshore gaming accounts.

Whatever the case in government law, the fact is that online gambling only harms those who are not fit to gamble. Really, that's it! We must look at the facts behind gambling online to lessen the fear of this industry to help spread peace and understanding.

Online Gambling Facts:

1. It is addictive, but only to those who are lost in spirit. I say, set a deposit stop point and when it's reached, step away from the computer.

2. It is easy to implement prevention of underage gamblers with expensive software. A cost condition that online casinos will gladly overcome.

3. It is a form of recreation, just like watching TV or going to the bowling alley. When some of us are having fun, evil has an opportunity to enter our lives. But, really, gambling is only bad in the eyes of people who easily fear things. Who said, "there is nothing to fear but fear itself?"

4. It is a way governments could make millions maybe billions on taxing and licensing laws. Legalization would bring US gambling out of the black market and into trustworthiness.

The internet gambling industry must be regulated now to keep the casino honest by establishing fair-gaming odds. World governments should choose to be optimistic and see it as a way to make money with taxing and licensing fees. This will lessen the fear of the industry to bring Godliness into betting online. With regulation comes peace-of-mind for all the people of this world, big and small, believers and non-believers in Christ as our Savior.
