The burgeoning U.S. on-line gambling industry must stop resorting to tactics aimed at evading government regulation, and prepare for a future in which it will have no choice but to deal with it, says a cyberspace legal expert. "My argument is that it's a mistake to bet the industry on the capacity to escape the government's ability to regulate," Stanford University law professor and author Lawrence Lessig said yesterday in the keynote speech at the Global Interactive Gaming Summit & Expo.

Online gambling is legal in some countries, including Britain and Costa Rica, and the World Trade Organization ruled last year that the United States was violating its free-trade obligations by banning Internet gambling. But U.S. law enforcement officials continue trying to curtail on-line gambling, persuading some banks and electronic payment services, for example, to prohibit use of their credit cards or pay systems for the placing of electronic bets.

ID technology would allow governments to impose controls, such as compelling companies that facilitate on-line gambling to ensure their customers are not from the state of Utah, where betting is illegal, Mr. Lessig said after his presentation. The ID systems will integrate privacy protection measures, he said. What the players in the $12-billion (U.S.) on-line gambling industry must do now is exercise their democratic rights to push for change in how the law is used to regulate their business, he told the audience.
