People in North America really love to gamble online. The United States and Canada
are two of the top countries when it comes to the number of citizens that are gambling
at online casinos. A survey conducted by Ipsos Reid interviewed over 1,000 Americans
and 1,000 Canadians and found that 49% were in favor of online gambling regulation and
55% of the Canadian respondents were in the favor of government regulation.

The survey has also concluded that more North Americans consider online gambling as a
legal form of entertainment and this belief continues to rise even while the US government
continues to crack down on financial transactions that relate to the online gambling industry.
Paul Lauzon, Senior Director of Ipsos Reid’s Lottery and Gaming Group, said of the results:
“The idea of Internet gambling appears to be gaining acceptance in North America, with more
people expressing an interest to see it legalised with proper regulation.” Governments continue
to work against the interests of online gambling operators by restricting access to gambling sites while their own citizens continue to embrace online gambling as a form of entertainment.

Their is already talk of an online gambling television channel in the United States next year. With the growing momentum of Barney Frank’s legislation to legalize online gambling in the US, companies are already developing new ways to offer gambling services to Americans.

The UK already has live gambling channels that broadcast roulette and other casino games to viewers, 24 hours a day. UK residents can purchase credits and play the games using their TV remote controls. Once online gambling is legal on a federal level within the United States, you can expect that their will be cable & satellite channels that offer gambling-related shows as well.

Even if the United States regulates online gambling, it doesn’t necessarily mean that their would
be any regulations that make gambling over the cable wires or via satellite a legal activity, but
the new legislation would definitely soften the government up to the idea of gambling television.

Much like the Playboy channel or other adult-oriented channels, a gambling channel would only
be accessible by adults and it would be something that the subscriber would have to be request
to be added to their programming package, and not just given away to all of the subscribers.
