Online casino locations10 Sep 2006 Ever since online casino BET on Sports top executive was arrested some weeks ago, the question of legality of online casinos around the globe is the talk of the day. Online casino operations in the United States are illegal, and many American-run casinos have their base in different countries. But legality is not the only issue when it comes to deciding on an online casino's location, the issue of taxes comes up as well, and this actually plays center role in the final decision on location. The following countries are where most online casinos can be found, far from legal issues and high taxes.
First of all, many have a license from the small Caribbean Island Paradise Antigua. The reason these operations decided to take their business there in the first place was because Antigua was one of the first to offer these online casino licenses. Gibraltar, which is part of English territory is said to be one of the most prestigious places for online casinos, and it also is an indication that the firm running their business from there has some serious cash of its own, and often the investment in the site is accordingly.
The Australian government allows online casinos to run their business from the country under strict supervision and regulation, and many quality casinos originate from there. The British government has recently stated that it intends to offer online casino licenses to British-based venues in the near future and Canada allows licenses within the Indian territory of Kahnawake. The top tax haven is in Costa Rica, where cheap labor is also at hand.
