Online Gambling Problems Are Finally Being Addressed
16 March 2003
Gambling problems are not usually known to be prevalent in the online gaming market.
A large amount of problem gamblers seem to stem from land based casinos, on offline sports betting and slot machines. However, as the online gaming Industry's popularity grows, making its way into billions of homes each year, online gambling problems can no longer be pushed under the rug.
Thus, top leaders in the online gaming Industry have taken the bull by the horn and as always are confident in taking the necessary actions in their position and have stretched their arms out to help and find online gambling addicts.
The Trident Entertainment Group, who runs and holds ownership rights to the Trident Lounge VegasUSA Online In and King Neptune's Casino, are one of the first Top online casino group's to provide its online casino's with therapy and counseling services. The group has hired and stationed a counselor at all of its casinos. This service is available at any time to help players who seem to be having difficulty controlling their gambling activities.
Simon, one of the counselors brought in to one of the casinos said, "'I understand the problems around compulsive and binge gambling because I am a recovering compulsive gambler. I am available to communicate in complete confidentiality about any issues players may have regarding gambling."
