Online gambling is not very old and began in late 1990 with the Caribbean government legalizing online gambling. This step paved the way for further progress in this field. Although it is illegal to play on the Internet in many countries, foreign-based casinos and conduct their business with impunity. This is because governments have not the power to interfere in the business of other countries.
On 10 November 2004, the WTO (World Trade Organization) ruled in favor of the Antigua (Caribbean) government. The accusation was that the Caribbean government was exporting the gambling business to the U.S.. However, the WTO ruled that the U.S. government acted against GATS (General Agreement on Trade in Services).
Backtracking along the timeline will reveal that the first online casino became active in 1994 and was authorized by the act of conversion of free trade zone, allowing the operation of casinos from Antigua, Barbuda. The first online gambling house was called Cryptologic, which began creating software for gambling online. Other companies that have contributed to the development of such software is Microgaming and Starnet Communication.
Canada was also one of the first countries to start online casinos. It regulates the activities of online gaming by forming a body called the Commission Kanhawake game. This Committee ensured that all practices involved in online gambling were fair and transparent. However, Cryptologic was the first company to launch a gaming platform on the Internet and provide cash deposit facilities.
At this time, American players acted as catalysts for this process because of the abundance and the ease with which Internet services were available in the country. In light of these developments, the U.S. government tried to pass a law prohibiting online gambling but failed. This attempt was made to again after some time, but again the bill did not get two-thirds majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Today, there over four hundred online casinos in the world, but many more operate illegally. So one can say that the online casino industry has expanded literally by leaps and bounds within a decade of starting and has become billions of dollars.
