Nova Scotia the Atlantic province in Canada has been toying with the idea of online gambling for a time now. People in the province have been less than receptive to the idea of online gambling. The Chronicle Herald reports that new software that is effective in blocking underage gambling has been developed by an American company commissioned by the Nova Scotia Gaming Corporation.
The software said to be the first of its kind in the world will be offered for free. President and CEO of the Nova Scotia Gaming Corporation, Marie Mullally said that the software is effective in blocking access to gambling websites. Mullally was quoted in the Chronicle Herald that a study commissioned by the corporation in 2006 found the underaged were gambling online three times as often as adults. In the gaming corporation's study, 15 percent of 18-year-olds and 19 percent of youths aged 15 to 17 admitted to online gambling. Following the study, the corporation hired an American company to develop software to block online gambling access.
"There was nothing out there, so we invented this," Mullally said. The software branded BetStopper, has been tested by 250 Nova Scotia families, with positive results. It will officially be launched this weekend and distributed at the "We Love Our Children Expo" at Exhibition Park in Halifax.
The program looks for gaming URLs and gaming language within websites. BetStopper is password-protected and parents will receive an email notification immediately if the program is turned off.
"It has a heightened or enhanced level of intelligence that allows it to have a 98 percent rate of blocking sites," said, Mullally.

While adults could also use the software to prevent other adults from accessing gaming sites, Mullally said it's principally intended for parental use.
Founder of the Safe Bet Society, Ken Hanna, said anything parents can do to discourage the underaged from wagering online is a welcome tool. "It's a step in the right direction," Hanna added, "I think it's excellent."
