Offshore Gambling UK Style

Gambling, including offshore gambling has been legal in the UK since 1968; but up until recently, there have been no specific regulations governing Internet gambling. Instead the UK government imposed heavy taxes on online casinos operating from within their borders. Online casinos quickly became offshore gambling concerns; moving everywhere offshore gambling was legal, and cheap. The UK has, however, done an about turn, and is now coaxing offshore gambling concerns back home; but with strict rules. Offshore gambling sites must register as British companies, locate their web servers in Britain, and use UK web addresses (.co.uk URLS) for casino sites.
