In a move that is likely to have wide ranging repercussions, the federal government of Germany has moved to place severe restrictions on online poker and other online gaming. In an attempt to protect the state run gaming sites, the German government is attempting to restrict access to non-German poker sites and to force financial institutions to halt activities with these online businesses.
This only adds to the list of countries trying to defeat the international reach of the internet by proposing prohibitionist legislation. In the European Union and neighboring countries, we now see: Germany, Austria, France, Greece, Netherlands, Sweden and Turkey openly restricting internet gaming trade. Several other countries including the Czech Republic and Poland have proposed similar legislation.
There must come a point where the European Union will have to face the realization that its member nations are in a majority when it comes to closing their internet gaming markets. A feat that boggles the sensibilities when it comes to the entire underpinnings of internet commerce.
It amazes nearly everyone in business how economic restrictions could be placed on one relatively small industry (gaming) while virtually every other product and service can be purchased from anywhere on the planet using the internet.
Is online gaming merely the beginning of a global internet trade war?
