Thus, Denmark was the latest country which bowed down to the pressure the European Commission exerted to it in order to open the online gambling market. But, Denmark wants to protect and promote the state gambling monopoly in the regulated gambling market as France and Finland do. In the country gambling is managed via Danske Spil, the state owned company.

As of July 1, 2010, private online casino operators can go into the online gambling market and make it more competitive. But they must have a license to offer gambling services. The Danish government has stated that private foreign operators can get these licenses only after the beginning of 2011. Thus, Danske Spil gets 6 months of exclusive and untrammeled access to customers. During this time they can win players’ loyalty and respect.

The government has warned gambling operators trying to attract Danish players before they will receive licenses. According to “Ace”, the Danish magazine, government spokesmen said that they would take ISP blocking action to prevent Danish customers from playing at unlicensed sites. The government are also said to make it highly difficult for Danish gamblers to withdraw money from unlicensed casino sites after the beginning of July.

Ireland is ready to tax online gambling. According to The Sunday Independent, Prime Minister Brian Cowen is going to introduce legislation to tax gambling online. The Irish government wants to collect the taxes at the rate of 1% from online and phone sports betting. Most authorities say that this tax will help the country’s economy, but there are rumors that the main aim of this tax is to finance the racing industry. They say that this tax money will go to the rich horse owners in the end.

Ireland suffering from an economic crisis and the job losses can get new jobs thanks to online gambling operators. Paddy Power the leading online gambling operator in Ireland had planned to give 350 new jobs in the country but it will have to refuse this idea if the taxes become a reality.

One of them is Safe Gaming System (SGS), a new responsible gaming service. It positions itself as a “safety net” which protects players from excessive gambling. SGS helps the registered players to set sensible gambling limits taking into consideration players’ incomes. The system wants players to set money and time limits beforehand and not in the atmosphere of a casino which allows players to think reasonably and set right limits.

Moreover, SGS give the players an opportunity to fund online casino accounts. To do it a player has to open an account with Safe Gaming System, to fund it for “budget periods” pre-purchasing their “affordable limit” to play. After that an SGS debit card will be issued for the player. This card is used to deposit the accounts at online casinos accepting the SGS card. The players in their turn should try to use only their SGS account to play at an online casino and not to use any other payment method. After spending the funds meant for a given period SGS don’t accept more deposits from the player during this “budget period” and the player will have to wait for the next “budget period” to wager again.

The second new service is an age verification service from ImpulsePay. An online casino should add an ImpulsePay ‘Buy Now’ button at its site. A player clicks on this button and type in his mobile number. Then by SMS the player gets a secure PIN to this number. After the player has entered this PIN at the casino site, the latter is informed if the mobile is registered to an adult user. If the applicant is not registered that he is over 18, he will be sent to a help page. If the applicant is registered that he is over eighteen, the transaction is made and the player is allowed to register.

The above-mentioned services have just been advertised so it will take time to be appeared at the online casinos. But some questions are left in both cases. SGS depends on the will of the player since in spite of his agreement with SGS nothing can prevent him from registering with an online casino and load his account with some other payment option. Concerning ImpulsePay, it is not clear how it can learn that a minor is using his mobile phone and not the phone registered on his parents, for example.

The motion comes four days after the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled that iMEGA and the Interactive Gaming Council (IGC) had no standing to defend the owners of the affected domains case because neither party informed the court of their memberships.

The Supreme Court requested that both parties file affidavits to prove that members were affected by the seizures of the domain names.

iMEGA filed two affidavits with the Court of Appeals. The first affidavit identified Yatahay Limited as the owner of the TruePoker.com domain name. The second affidavit confirmed TruePoker.com’s membership in iMEGA.

Yatahay Limited is the first defendant to identify itself as an iMEGA member.

“The owners of the ‘TruePoker.com’ domain have taken a big step on the behalf of the industry and players,” said iMEGA Chairman Joe Brennan Jr. in a statement. “We’ve overcome the technicalities that gave the Commonwealth their short-lived victory. The Court can now make a decision based on Kentucky law.”

“The Commonwealth’s attorneys knew they were lucky to get this one into overtime,” Brennan added. “It’s time to put them away.”

Attorneys for iMEGA also requested that the case be moved back to the Supreme Court immediately.
