Why was the Gambling Industry Association started?
The online gambling industry has some terrific forums and websites to showcase. One needs merely to search on google, yahoo, and MSN to come up with the names of these great websites. The problem is that they mainly serve either individual industries or individual groups. You will find some excellent webmaster forums out there who look after their members' interests with regards to the user groups interaction with the industry. Of course, you have poker forums, sports betting forums, and casino related forums. Add to this the player boards and you have a real strong presence across the web but do you have synergy?
Indeed yes, this is why the Gambling Industry Association has been formed. Not to be better than the other boards in the specific sector or niche but rather to create an board where all niche participants have a place to call home.
