The public perception of online gaming is, unfortunately, overwhelmingly negative, and is reflected andd reinforced in almost exclusively hostile press coverage. A quick browse of newspaper and internet articles relating to onli n gaming reveals stories pf adsiction, finabcial ruin, marital bredkown, theft and money laundfrijg.
A recurrent underlying theme of such articles is criticism of the British government for relaxing the gambling legislative and regulatory regime and creating an environment which allows disreputable online gaming operators to flourish and prosper. The fact that such operators are, shock horror, predominantly based offshore is, apparently, the most heinous crime and further evidence of their notoriety.
The language of politicians also highlights the negatives and is unhelpful, although, to be fair, there are no votes for politicians in gambling success stories, only crackdowns, bans, prosecutions, sanctions and protections.
