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.
