Australia's number one anti online gambling Senator, Nick Xenaphon disapproves and want a total ban on the iphone gambling applications, he even stated "It's irresponsible to allow these applications in the hands of children.”And we couldn't even help but agree as kids loved to meddle with their parents phone trying if they can still send a message or to play a game where he might stumble upon this gambling application, loved the graphics as well as the game itself. Senator Nick Xenaphon stated "Kids can become poker machines experts years before they are legally allowed to set eyes on a real machine." he also pointed out that “We already have a big enough gambling problem in this country and there is no doubt this will fuel gambling addiction”
Anyway, if you are still not aware of this mobile gambling applications, it simply allows a player to gamble and play casino games (at the moment poker, slots and baccarat are available) with the use of their cellphones thru mobile gambling applications. This applications features a “personalized your interface” functions and are allowed for kids ages 12 and up, nevertheless, some gambling applications does not carry any age limit, thus creating a bigger problem.
Senator, Nick Xenaphon stated during a debate that “Playing and wagering are all virtual, but your still working with money involved, thus imposing apocryphal impression that machines can be a source of money or income.” he also added that "Having a recommended age description of 12 is totally inadequate, he also pointed out "This is a training application for kids to lose real money when they turn 18."
Senator, Nick Xenaphon stated that he would definitely bring this issue in the higher courts of Canberra to call the attention of the federal government on the gambling outlaw for children under legal age.
He also stated that if nothing is implemented at this certain degree where mobile gambling applications are still not that much accepted “we will see a new wave of problem gamblers as soon as these kids turn 18. This is a conditioning application and the poker machine industry will be cracking open champagne bottles with this application”
Xenaphon added that "It's not only promoting poker machines, its conditioning people to use them. There's enough evidence out there for us to protect kids from these applications."
