What do you think ?
Is this essential? Would it affect the online casinos?
If we're going to think that it's for a good cause then the answer is
Yes, it is essential.
it is surely for a good cause mate because it was mentioned that will Help the Covid victims.
Casinos pays a huge tax to the Government no matter how big or small their bankroll is, that's why if your online gambling site are not making that huge of a bankroll, it's better to shut it down or you'll be arrested by the police. Because if you insisted to regulate your online gambling business by the Government, then you'll be losing your profits and it'll all go to the tax you're going to pay.
actually regulating gambling sites is depend in which country you are operating thats so it will be a matter of obligation and helping hand.
The ones that's gonna remain are those big time online gambling sites in Europe. Surely it'll help their country and citizens if their Government will not steal the money (fingers crossed)
actually they may created a illegal gambling site as extension if the taxes will be as high that they cannot expected.
