Online Casino Jurisdiction for Island of Jersey

Recently, the Channel Island of Jersey has made the next move toward its goal of becoming an online casino gaming licensing and regulation jurisdiction. With the appointment of what it terms a Shadow Gambling Commission, it has extended the reach of its betting offices licensing body. Online casino companies will soon be able to receive licensing from this new jurisdiction instead of going to Gibraltar and the other famous locations where licensing has been issued in the past. The new commission is paving the way for a new structure that will license and regulate online casinos operators.

These online casino operators, in return for receiving regulation and licensing, must pay the licensing fee; submit to the regulations issued by the jurisdiction and register on the island. With the leadership of Graham White, formerly the chief inspector for the UK Gambling Commission, the three-member commission will definitely be steered in the right direction regarding the online casino industry.

This is exciting and noteworthy news for online casino operators and companies. Now they will have a new jurisdiction to turn to when they want to receive licensing and regulatory measures so they can offer their games and services to online casino fans all over the globe. Although the US is facing serious changes and obstacles regarding the online gambling industry thanks to the UIGEA, or Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, the rest of the world seems to be moving forward where the online casino industry is concerned.
