Lipparelli Says Policing Online Gambling Can Be Done

- 01/03/2012By Tommie ClarkGoogle
Nevada, the U.S. state probably most identified with gambling, is now the first U.S. state with legal online gambling. The other states will be eyeing Nevada to see if the new move is successful or not. The chairman of Nevada’s Gaming Control Board, Mark Lipparelli, said that policing online gaming is a reality.
Opponents of online gambling in the United States have long claimed that legalization will create an irreversible situation of online casino chaos and problem gambling. The fact that millions of Americans have been gambling online for years doesn’t seem to deter them from saying it. Lipparelli explains that the same possibility for cheating an online system with monetary interactions exists with online casinos as with any other website. Every website has to deal with issues of security, and there is no reason to think that online casinos will fail in this respect. The hackneyed issues brought up at every debate on the issue are not unsolvable problems.
Lipparelli clarified that internet casinos have developed extremely advanced analytics tools to prevent cheating and problem gambling. It is in the casino’s interest to prevent cheaters and problem gamblers. Furthermore, there is a separation between the credit exchange that takes place during game-play, and the actual account transfers of real money. Any real transfer of money requires validation and creates a paper trail.
Lipparelli has also testified recently at a congressional subcommittee that was considering the issue of legalized online poker, though it could be a very long time before any concrete results are visible.
