Last week there were many things happening in Phenom Penh related to online gambling. The authorities from Cambodia shut down an important online gambling ring.

The raids were mainly pointing to the Chamkar Mon District and the action took place in three different villas from which more than 60 people were arrested and remained into police custody. More than half of the arrested people were from Cambodia, while the rest of them were from different countries like Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, China and Malaysia.

As you read this the police is most likely trying to figure out what were the games that were played in the ring. At the same time there was a security guard that stated to be a very good number of games played, including betting on football.

The raid that happened in Cambodia can be considered to be a curious case, especially since at this moment there are no laws to prohibit the online gambling.

The position of the authorities regarding the gambling that is done on the internet should be different. First of all there has to be laws to regulate the gambling and an institution that takes care of checking to make sure that everything is alright. And second there has to be taxes imposed to the online gambling and this way you can be sure that everybody will be happy.

Mark Lipparelli, the former Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, just said in an interview for the famous poker magazine: Card Player that the legalization of online poker at a nationwide level is now closed due to the little progress that was made by the states in order to regulate the online gaming.

He was part of the Nevada Gaming Control Board for three years. Right now he quit the institution in order to go back and work in the private sector, which is probably more profitable. In the same interview, Lipparelli also said that the state is planning to increase the player liquidity, but this is the plan for next year. At the same time if the agreements will be made too complex, this might prove to be a mistake.

Regarding the federal legalization of poker at this moment there are just a few states where the markets are just about to open. There all the steps regarding this were already done, including the commercial commitment along with the licensing are both ready. The time when the lawmakers had to do this was during the last two years.
