The Ministry of Information and Communication announced yesterday it will toughen monitoring measures on online gambling.

The ministry said it will work with related government agencies, including the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the National Police Agency and the Information and Communication Ethics Committee, in a crackdown on online gambling, which is illegal in Korea.

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism, which recently revised the Game Industry Promotion Act to ban currency-trading websites, will toughen the Game Rating Board’s screening process when approving a game site, the Information Ministry said.

The National Police Agency recently reported that the number of online gambling sites that it asked the ethics committee to block surged to 291 as of late May from 76 last year.

“Illegal online gambling sites sign up members through a secret IP address at a specific time. And such sites are hard to find because they are increasingly good at evading IP tracking,” said Lee Tai-hee, director of the information safety team at the Information Ministry.

The ethics committee, which has authority to ask local network providers to block illegal websites, will request police to investigate three local online gambling sites and block 21 currency-trading game sites that were recently uncovered, the Information Ministry said.

The search engines and the online gambling industries are growing so rapidly, executives in these companies are finding it hard to set a logical moral code, creating some bizarre contradictions. (more…)

Online gambling company 888 has been under fire in the last week, as reports emerged that French authorities want to interview its former chief executive John Anderson.

In stark contrast with the general move throughout the European Union to regulation of the online gambling industry, France has stubbornly held on to its monopolistic view of the situation. Last year, French police arrested visiting BWin executives who were in France to promote a sponsorship deal with the AS Monaco football club. The French gambling authorities want to protect the state monopoly of online gambling services, and appear to be determined to aggressively pursue online gambling companies that advertise or do business in France.

March 30th Bloomberg reported that the World Trade Organization (WTO) had ruled the US ban on offshore internet gambling to be in breach of international trade law, leading to many online gambling investors to believe their shares will rocket upwards on Monday when the market reopens.

The WTO said the US ignored its previous ruling that challenged the US ban on payments to gambling web sites whilst allowing bets on its own soil, deeming the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) to be a protectionist practice and therefore illegal under WTO rules. (more…)
