Will online bookmakers make inroads in Asian countries?

[steven21]

It remains to be seen whether Internet gambling will be able to make inroads in Asia. As a matter of fact, a legislator in the Philippines had already proposed a legislation that would outlaw the placing of bets through the Internet. Being a dominantly conservative region, officials and the police often launch crackdowns on so-called illegal gambling. But sometimes there is a fine distinction between the kind of gambling that can be considered legal and the type that is illegal. Nevertheless, much like other people in the world, Asians love betting and this is probably the important characteristic that online bookmakers are banking on.
