Lose it again and again at a Virgin Casino

Following ventures into the Airline, Credit Card, Mobile phone and many other businesses around the world Sir Richard Branson has taken the plunge and moved into the world of gambling.

Only ten weeks ago, Branson opened his new online casino Virgin Games. But he is not stopping there, as Branson has just become a member of the British Casinos Association and is looking at having his signature brand on one of Britain's new 'super-casinos' according to The Guardian.

However the the proposed gambling legislation in the UK is set to be much more restrictive than originally planned after opposition forced significant ammendments including allowing much fewer of the casinos than originally planned. (Reuters)

The worldwide message seems to be that gambling is an issue that the community is concerned about. People are now wary of the effects that gambling expansion can have on their communities and governments need to listen and realise that backlash that has occurred in the UK is not unique and is now likely to happen in many countries around the world.

People are concerned about gambling. Governments take note.
