Many British online casinos have decided to change the locations and move to some offshore places. The reason of this migration is quite clear, The UK has raised the taxes for internet gambling sites. Certainly online casinos have understood that it’s much easier to find more attractive place. There is one more reason besides of the lower taxes, these places are less regulated. Among the casinos which move to other places you can find such popular sites as William Hill and Ladbrokes. For instance William Hill has already chosen the new place and the headquarters is situated in Gibraltar. The most part of the reputable online casinos which has been working in UK are going to do the same.
The taxies is the main reason because online casinos leave the United Kingdom, we can compare them and understand that it’s much profitable for the casinos to operate at the offshore regions. If you have the headquarters at the offshore location you pay 1.5%, but if you have registration in UK you will pay 15%. Gibraltar always encourages online casinos and companies working in the sphere of internet gambling, attracting them by the lowest taxes.
Some of the online casinos have the great plans for their future development because they will be free moving to the offshore regions. In that way the British Sports League is going to open the online sports book aimed to the fixed games. Operating in Gibraltar or other offshore means that the online casino does not report about anything.
The strict policy of USA concerning internet gambling is known all over the world. USA has restricted the access to the online casino and poker sites and continues control the situation in spite of numerous objections. But this is not the only country which has changed its attitude to the problem of gambling. Some other countries declare about the legislation restrictions. Among the states which have recently announced about the anti-gambling laws and future plans to block online casinos can be mentioned Russia and Italy. The last of them has declared about its decision to block online poker, it causes contradictory reactions.
This is another try to solve the problem which is not actually new for this country. Italy starts the process of liberalizing the national gambling market, but at the same time it begins the other project which can cause the ban of the online poker play. Certainly the reaction of the EU can be called positive. It is looking for the ways to strengthen the free trade policy especially in the field of internet gambling, using for this purpose negotiations with the different countries including USA.
But the main problem is where the limits of legality. There are some foreign companies working at the Italian gambling market which faces with the numerous requirements which can be rather strict. Italian Government wishes to control totally the sphere of online gambling, but such issue contradicts to the basis of the free trade policy between Italy and other countries of the EU.
