In the UK, the government has imposed high gambling taxes on online casino operators, which has forced some of the biggest brands out of the country and towards offshore locations. The country of Denmark is trying to avoid a similar situation by attempt to reduce its tax regulations for online gambling websites, but the European Commission is convinced that there is an ulterior motive behind this move.

Currently, land-based casinos in Denmark pay 75% tax on all wagers, and the country’s government hopes to reduce the online casino industry’s taxes to 20%. While most government do the opposite to ensure that land-based casinos continue to do business, Denmark wants to keep its online gambling websites in business instead.

Online casino operators are elated at this interesting change of events, but the European Commission is not sure what to make of it. Because the situation is so strange and uncommon, the European Commission has launched an investigation into the matter.

To help with the investigation, the European Union is asking that members from other EU states weigh in on the matter. These types of investigations often take days to conduct, so the commission is looking for all the help it can get.

The online gambling industry has always been somewhat of a dark horse in the financial world. It has always had a bad reputation, thanks to a few shady companies that made that entire industry look bad. Now, thanks to online gambling regulation in several countries across the world, financial analysts are finally giving the online gambling industry the attention it deserves.

Now, many different operators from all over the industry are getting their feet wet in the emerging field of mobile gambling.

Wager Works has partnered with Million-2-1, a company the specializes in creating games for smartphones and other mobile devices. Together, the two companies will work as a team to bring new and innovative titles the now booming online gambling market.

Mobile gambling is the next big thing for the industry, so operators should consider launching their own mobile casino games to keep existing players interested in their offerings.

For months, the online gambling industry was all talk about the potential merger between Bwin and PartyGaming, but it wasn’t until September that either of the companies confirmed the rumours. Now that industry professionals know the truth, however, both Bwin and PartyGaming are keeping their mouths shut about the details of the deal.

Many industry insiders have expressed concerns about this unusual silence. When things are going well for online gambling companies, there is usually a big deal made about the situation, but Bwin and Party Gaming’s secretiveness has caused professionals to believe that things are not going as planned.

However, Bwin and Party Gaming have released a statement that has confirmed that the merger is going smoothly and that everything is on track. The deal is expected to take several months to completely, simply because of the sheer size of both companies. It won’t be until 2011 that we will see a final product from the two companies.

The due date of early 2011 is not expected to be pushed back or delayed, spokespeople for Bwin and PartyGaming have stated that neither company foresees any difficulties in getting this job done.

Ever since the French gambling market opened its doors to international operators, online casinos have been pushing and shoving their way to get into the country. Dozens of online casinos were granted online gambling licenses earlier in the year, and now Unibet has just become the latest operator to enter France’s market.

UniBet was a popular operator in France before the country began prohibiting international companies from offering their services to players. However, when the country did enact its monopoly, UniBet was kicked out and was not allowed to re enter until the EU required France to change its laws. It has been a long process, but UniBet is finally back in France’s online gambling market.

Industry insiders believe that UniBet will do well in the coming months. Because the company had such a big, successful presence in France’s online gambling industry before, it is believed that the operator will regain its old players and continue to thrive the way it did before the online gambling ban was enacted. In the future, we can expect to see big things from Unibet in France’s newly-regulated online gambling market.

Netherlands was one of the few European countries to still have a ban on online gambling. It was previously believed that the country’s government would never lift the ban, but now that the Netherland has a new government in power, the option of legalized online gambling seems more plausible.

The Netherlands has a new right-winged government which believes that online gambling could present a valuable source of tax revenue to the country. Over 500 000 people in The Netherlands currently play at offshore online gambling websites and the new government believes that the country should obtain a portion of that revenue.

A source recently made a list of the advantages and disadvantages of legalizing online gambling in the country. Although the details of the pros and cons have not been released, industry insiders believe that the good must have outweighed the bad – as the government is now currently considering the idea of legalizing online gambling in the country.

In many countries, land-based casinos are against the idea of online gambling, as they are worried that they will lose business – but this is not the case in The Netherlands. Instead, land-based casinos support the idea, stating that the legalization of online gambling would improve the reputation of the industry at large.

Earlier this year, the internet was a buzz with the news of a brand new online casino being launched by SEGA. For months, rumours surrounded the situation, as the industry got excited about an online gambling website designed by a popular console games developer. While the casino initially got off to a good start, we have just learned that SEGA casino has just been shut down – without any explanation.

Earlier this week, customers are SEGA Casino were informed that the website would no longer be operational. They were instructed to withdraw all funds from their accounts. If they did not withdraw the funds within a specified time period, their funds would automatically be returned to them.

This has created quite a controversy in the online gambling industry. SEGA Casino had become extremely popular in the European gambling market, as players from across the continent were attracted to the branded games like Phantasy Star and House of the Dead. It is a surprise that such a successful enterprise has been shut down so quickly.

There has been no word on the details of the mysterious shut down. However, it is not suspected that there was any foul play involved.
