British Online Poker Players want British Gambling Act

May 26, 2006

In a market that's super saturated with online poker rooms, it seems that online poker players are trying to get a little more savvy in how they choose and judge their gaming sites. A recent British survey suggests that online poker players want more information about the websites they use to gamble online. The majority of UK online gamers want the newly formed Gambling Commission to be more prominent and agressive in the implementation of the British Gambling Act.

The survey was conducted by English company Prime Table Games, it suggests that people want information on who gets what on the sites they spend money at. The survey indicated that 73 percent of people when asked said they would like to know if online gaming sites are maintained by a third-party company. In addition to that, 31 percent of those surveyed were against the outsourcing of online gaming business in any form.

"Gamblers have clear expectations of how online gaming should operate. It's vital that as the industry redefines itself in the light of the Gambling Act that the Gambling Commission aims to meet those expectations," explained Derek Webb, head of Prime Table Games.

When everything was tallied up, it turned out that 81 percent of people want online gaming sites to share information on money paid to affiliate sites, 44 percent of those surveyed said they are less likely to play at a site where the company shares their money with an outside affiliate site.
