A flashback on online gambling

The history of online gambling dates back in 1994, although systems and programs to make such has been there long before the internet has been introduced. It started with Carribean's Free Trade and Processing Act. Since then, people from different parts of the globe have the free reign to put up their own online casino. With the growing demand, software developers didn't lack the initiative to make and further update the needed software to operate and online casino.

In 1998, the world's festivity over the rise of online gambling was seemingly cut short. During that year, U.S. Senator Jon Kyl opposed online gambling with his Internet Gambling Prohibition Acts making it illegal for US companies and citizens to participate in any online gambling or online casinos. From then on, other countries have also made other laws with regards to the restriction of online gambling.

Today, online gambling has boomed into a wide and huge industry that a number of people - of different ages and gender. Its popularity rose tremendously that even in courts, poker players fight for its right to legalize it. It would be a long run but for these people, they would fight and do everything just to legalize an industry that they deem potential to the economic growth of the country.
