Online casinos allow access to full casino action at any time anywhere.  That is the perhaps the best feature about online casinos and the reason that the online gambling industry has the brick and mortar gambling industry sweating bullets.  It is also the reason why online casinos have family centered groups sweating just as much.  The accessibility of online casinos allows those that do not have such a healthy control over their gambling habits access to online casinos during the most in appropriate hours of the day; at work for instance. 

Many offices today cannot survive without employees having access to the Internet.  Since that day it is not uncommon for employees to be caught using hours during the day, when they should be working, to take care of personal errands.  Those personal activities can be as innocent as shopping for the family for Christmas or as disturbing as looking up pornographic content. 

Other than putting a block on certain web content, there was very little that an employee could do to crack down against employees surfing to inappropriate sites during the work day.  Now, however, the government is Calgary is attempting a program to not only block but track government employees that think its okay to do things like gamble at online casinos at work.

The program is very simple.  Software has the ability to flag when an employee attempts to visit an online casino or pornographic site.  The site will be blocked, but in addition to that, after a certain number of attempts, a written warning will be issued to the employee.  So far the Calgary government has already issued some 400 warnings since the program began; roughly ten each month.
