The Maltese online sportsbook, founded by former model Yara Wortmann and managed by a group of 12 female executives, protested against the prohibition of online gambling in the United States. In an open letter to the President of the United States of America, the group of business women deemed as ludicrous the idea to add online gaming companies to the axis of evil.
“The human being has a natural tendency for gaming, winning and thrills. Therefore, US citizens will continue to gamble online – however, they will be forced into illegality, where your citizens are easily made victims of dubious firms who do not comply with the high standards of the industry and only want to make quick money.”
“Many pleasant activities have consequences when practiced beyond a reasonable scope. The only solution for this can be regulation and education. Think of the prohibition in the United States of the 1920\’s. Regulate the online gaming market in your country. Educate your people. Give the user a chance to become an informed and responsible citizen who knows what he/she is doing and is able to act autonomously.”
