The current gambling restrictions are being modified and made stricter according to a United Kingdom government’s initiative. There are some who hold that these changes are directed at safeguarding Internet users, whereas others believe that these measures will inhibit the users’ freedom to indulge in online casino gambling. There are certain groups who are constantly working to protect web users from infringement of their rights – an example of this is the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation was established in 1990 to handle the issues of freedom of speech and privacy as well as consumer rights. This organization is now trying to deal with this recent issue of controlling user rights in online casinos. According to the government plan, there will be a method of filtering sites which are believed by the government to be offensive and harmful. To identify such sites, the Mother’s Union which happens to be a Christian organization, is guiding the government as it tries to block websites selling pornographic materials and gambling sites which are harmful. The UK Prime Minister David Cameron wants to have Internet Service Providers of the likes of Sky and Virgin to do the blocking of such websites.

Yet, the Electronic Frontier Foundation has come with certain interesting arguments. To begin with, consumers should be accorded the right to block those sites which they consider to be harmful for viewing. Those categories suggested by the government for blocking purposes are somewhat unclear and vague according to this organization. There is no clear-cut plan and the lists which have been forwarded have no clear origin. Incidentally, the ISPs could practically end up blocking more sites than needed. So many ISPs have actually placed the opt-out option for their subscribers. An exception is the TalkTalk which continues to monitor the sites even for those users who have chosen the opt-out scheme. Privacy has always been a major concern for both users of the Internet and specifically online casino enthusiasts. So, the question of users’ rights being infringed in this case even when they have chosen the opt-out plans continues to remain.

Software update for Golden Riviera Casino

The leading casino using Microgaming as their gaming software provider recently announced that they had introduced many features for updating their existing software. This was designed to enhance the gaming experience for its users. Among the recent innovations was the easy navigability feature which allows the players to get their gaming techniques right from the start. They can now whisk back to the game lobby whenever they want or view windows by changing the line of tabs to suit their own preferences. They can resize windows according to their convenience and do many more new things that were earlier not possible with the original software. This goes to enhance the overall casino gaming experience for the players, and not only are the games more convenient to play, but also more enjoyable.
