People in the online gambling industry believe that legal online gambling will spread in the U.S. this year, but many aren’t confident that existing technology will meet regulatory challenges, according to a new poll.
The survey was conducted by online gambling software provider CAMS and polled 113 professionals in the gambling industry on a range of issues facing online gambling.
Sixty-percent of respondents said Pennsylvania, which is considering several online gambling bills in its legislature, “will make progress toward licensed and regulated online gambling on 2015.”
But 14 percent and 21 percent of respondents said they are “not at all confident” in existing protocols used to verify gamblers’ identity and location, respectively.
“As with most industries, ours regularly hears from many of the same voices saying the same things over and over again,” CAMS founder and CEO Matthew Katz said in a statement.
