APC Recommends Online Poker Legalization
According to a recent report from Pokernews.com the Australian Productivity Commission recommends legalization of online gaming and repeal of the Interactive Gambling Act. Owned by iBus Media Limited, which is one of the largest poker media companies in the world. PokerNews is very happy with new draft recommendations. PokerNews submitted the 37 page report of stats and recent findings in April of 2009. Two hundred and sixty three other organizations also put forth arguments to the Commission. This is what appears to be a victory for online poker as the Australian Productivity Commission, released a draft report a few days ago supporting the managed liberalization of online gambling in Australia. The Australian Productivity Commission, is the Australian Federal Government's independent advisory body for microeconomic reform. Recommendations by the Productivity Commission are not always heeded or do they result in Government action. The P.C.'s initiatives are considered carefully by the Australian Government. Chief Consultant for PokerNews Damon Rasheed, confirmed, "delighted with the PC's main draft recommendation, in regards to online gambling, to repeal the Interactive Gambling Act. We agree with the PC's draft findings that risks associated with online gambling are lower than generally supposed and that changing to a system of managed liberalisation will reduce the effects of problem gambling in Australia. We look forward to the final report and urge the Australian Federal Government to consider the recommendations put forward". Primarily the report points out that if there is regulation and controls introduced in Australia on a national scale that problems associated with gambling would be brought to light and managed properly. The way the company put forth the argument for liberalization for online poker also pointed to the fact that Australia already allows certain forms of online gambling and that it is being unfair to the people in Australia who want to play poker online, regarded by many as a game of skill.
