To be honest, I don't know how you people deal with addiction and I think that makes it clear since I also heard that most of them don't know or don't realize that they are already addicted to gambling. I guess the government stepping up is also a good thing but I just hope they don't really strict policies at it might lead for other gamblers to go to other online casinos.
One more thing about the government stepping up is that it is just another form of making gambling more main stream. It's about protecting the ones that can't protect themself and we should respect that. For me I see it very similar to when opening a brokerage account. Once you decide you want to go into investing and trading you need to understand that there are huge risk involved that could lose you all your money. Filling out a questionaire before opening an account to check your understanding seems a good way to do protect us. If you can show you are experienced then of course those safety measures shouldn't apply.
