Conflicts between
Jurisdictions |
Globalisation of the market via the Internet
not only means elimination of the distance
between markets, it also means a conflict
between jurisdictions like Hong Kong, who
oppose opening of the markets, and states
like Australia, who want to exploit the
possibility for their gambling industries to be
exported to the rest of the world.

Sacrificing Freedom
for Control? |
The key issue we have been facing is
whether it is even possible to control Internet
gambling, given that regulations cannot be
enforced on what we term "unlawful"
gambling companies, located in such places
as the Caribbean Islands, which grant
perfectly legal licenses to such gambling
companies, and can only be applied to
individuals in each jurisdiction. Can the
expense and loss of individual rights be
justified? The following research shows the
situation in a statistical light.
