Internet gambling may be in play once
\nagain (pardon the pun), and the traditional Kentucky gambling industry is
\ntaking note. <\/span>According to the Courier Journal<\/span><\/a>
\n(Louisville, KY), <\/span>the Justice
\nDepartment issued an opinion in late December reversing a long-standing
\nposition that the 1961 federal Wire Act prohibited most betting over the
\nInternet. <\/span>It goes on to add that
\nChurchill Downs this month purchased Atlanta-based Bluff Media, a poker fan
\nwebsite, for an undisclosed sum. <\/span>Large
\noperations like Churchill Downs dont make whimsical business purchases without
\na lot of confidence on that investment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever your thoughts on the ethics of
\ngambling, the fact that states need revenue and may have been presented loophole
\nto allow (and tax) virtual casinos means operations may start popping up
\novernight. The catch: gaming operations will be limited to users only located
\nwithin their state reside. Obviously, players will need to be of age to play. These
\ncriteria are difficult to control on the Internet, unless you deploy the right
\ntool from day one. ID verification<\/span><\/a> for the
\ngaming industry is simple, cost-effective, reliable, and quickly
\ndeployable. <\/span>EVS has experience verifying age<\/span><\/a> and addresses
\nfor several gaming operations in Europe and Australia through our IdentiFraud International<\/span><\/a>
\nproduct. <\/span><\/span>If states dont mandate
\nmeasures to ensure only residents above legal age gamble, lets hope that the
\ngaming companies do so to protect their operations and our youth.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
