Online Casino Operator Takes on Politics

The online casino operator, reckoned to be a billionaire, is riding on a socialist platform. Online casinos have provided the backbone to internet entertainment and some of the money generated by this industry is now started to find its way into he political arena.

Aaron Shaked is part of the wealthy family that runs several well known online casinos. After making a fortune in the online gambling business he has declared that he will run for politics in Israel where he lives. He has declared his support for the Labor Party and will be running on a socialist platform.  Many politicians before Shaked came from entertainment backgrounds so why shouldn´t this online casino mogul get involved as well?

Online casino gambling is becoming more publicly accepted and despite pressure from the anti gambling lobby, there are more and more online casinos sprouting up everyday.  For the most part, people from all over the world take part in online casino gambling. The question is whether the association with Shaked and the online casino business will have a positive or negative influence on his public standing.
