Online Casino Portals Don't Sit Idle

8 Mar 2025

The ban on online casino gambling affects many, many around the world. The online casino providers, sites and software companies are among the most affected, as are the gambling community at large, which accounts for millions and millions of people around the world. But in between the gamblers and the online casino sites are other Websites, also affected by the ban. These are the online casino portals.

If the ban indeed applies to all who are involved in transactions related to online casino gambling, then the portals are also in the thick of things. A wide scope in applying the Act will place the online casino portal owners in danger, which will not be the case if the Act is understood to refer to bets only, a more narrow interpretation. Read for yourself and see what you understand: "any instruction or information pertaining to the establishment or movement of funds by the bettor or customer in, to, or from an account with the business of betting or wagering."

But if online casino portals are to be implicated in the entire mess that the online gambling Act sets in motion, then like portals there are many sites that serve the business in one way or another. Such Websites include any search engine, as a matter of fact, as it too posts results and links to online casino sites. Interfering with search algorithms and asking the companies to erase certain results may raise further opposition to the law, from yet another angle.
