Here is a quote from the gaming board reveiw made in July 2000 - http://www.gbgb.org.uk
Quote:
E GAMBLING ON THE INTERNET
40 The Review Body has already had submitted to it a separate paper prepared by the Gaming Board on this issue, following a study carried out by the Board during late 1999/early 2000. The key conclusions of that paper are as follows. There is a growing number of sites on the Internet which offer opportunities to gamble and in particular on line casino gaming, and legislation in this country bears on Internet gambling in unintended and erratic ways. For instance, no on-line casino gaming site can lawfully be established here, but residents are free to play on overseas sites and those sites can accept bets from here without breaking any British laws. The Board concludes that legislative change is needed to remedy this unsatisfactory situation. It does not believe that measures which attempt to prohibit on-line gambling in Britain would be either sensible or likely to be successful. Thus, whilst acknowledging that legislative change is unlikely to be simple or straightforward, the Board recommends that a coherent legislative system should be established which permits controlled and regulated Internet gambling sites in Britain. It believes that this is a matter to which the Review Body should give particular attention. The need to act as a matter of urgency – ie in priority to other gambling law reform - was not demonstrated to the Board on the evidence of its survey, but it could become so, and the Board recommends that the Review Body gives appropriate priority to Internet gambling in its deliberations.
There conclusion was as follows:

Having worked in UK casinos for the past 10 years I beleive that requlation by the British Gaming Board would be the best possible way forward for on-line gaming.
