The global economy is in decline, the goverments of sinking nations need revenue, the desperate populations need a cheap good time. They gamble online, play great hobbies and indulge from their very arm chair, the governments tax their winnings and the casinos rakeback. Tax increases, revenue inputs go through the roof and things slowly start to improve. I don't see the problem with online gambling, it is certainly a god send in some other countries.

Everyone wants a piece of the pie. The governments see an opportunity and jump at adding any new tax or license they can. I suppose that's business to a tea. It never ends.

I read news about how some were petitioning the Australian government to repeal the law last year. The government obviously rejected the petition. Recently US also enacted UIGEA. Looks like everyone is up for regulating online poker/casino. Doesn’t Australia still maintain its law on online gambling being unlawful?

It was like a month ago when they finalized UIGEA in the US, right? I've been reading blogs and news and many are saying it hasn't affected poker playing that much. The affiliates poker programs have been seeing dips in revenues but only just a little. Well it's too soon for the effects to be seen. Maybe after a few months we will see it.
