The Australian government is in two minds at the moment with regard to the legalization of internet gambling in the country.

A special parliamentary committee will discuss and formulate a policy on gambling reforms. The committee also discussed the measure proposed by independent Senator Nick Xenophon.

Industry members and experts quickly joined in as well. Steve Munchenberg, the chief executive of the Australian Bankers’ Association, notified the committee that it is a complicated process to restrict financial transactions.

The 1 January, 2012 is the due date and it’s just around the corner. One of the highlights is that the Spanish Cabinet sanctioned the decrees on internet gambling licensing and its technical requirements.
