Online casinos are expanding their reach almost daily.  It is very common to see stories of governments passing new legislation to bring some sort of regulations to the highly controversial industry. Controversial though online casinos may be, online casinos generate a lot of money and by taxing the industry governments can bring in revenues for various programs.  But online casinos still have a lot of obstacles to overcome.

China will not likely roll over for online casinos any time soon.  The Peoples Republic of China has tight controls over the media that their people are exposed to.  Even the computer industry is not having a hard time cracking China, let alone online casinos.

Google, the Internet giant, is forced to offer a highly censored version of their services as China does not think highly of free speech and politically controversial topics.

China even mandated that all personal computer sold in stores be fitted with a chip that will automatically censor undesirable content.  On that list of undesirables is of course online casinos. 

The World Trade Organization is working on opening up the market in China.  For quite some time the Chinese government limited the media products that came in and out of the community.  Their complaint was that certain products, almost every western product to be frank, was a threat to culture and tradition.   The World Trade Organization is no longer accepting the excuse.  This is good news for major media providers like Microsoft and Apple.  Good news for the major names in the computer world usually means good news for online casinos and online gambling providers.
