In Israel recently begun a campaign to block access to certain gambling websites that were available to all its citizens. Almost every site of online gambling is considered illegal in the country and the Israeli police have been instructing management at the Internet Service Providers to block all access to all offshore online gambling sites, because they “provide a place for illegal gaming for lotteries or gambling, as defined in Section 224 of the Penal Code”. Some of the mentioned sites have been aimed at Israeli gamblers, with contents translated into Hebrew.
A forty eight hour confirmation deadline is being applied to the order for blocking of the sites, but some Internet Service Providers explained they will need more time to sort out the technical aspects of blocking the specified online gambling web locations.
