Best live dealer casinos for players from Taiwan

Background

Like much of Asia, until recently Taiwan was a largely gambling free, (or rather legal gambling free) region with laws strict laws prohibiting gambling and casinos in particular.  But like many of its Asian neighbors, Taiwan has watched with interest as Macau has grown into the Las Vegas of the Asia Pacific region and generated enormous tax revenues, and now it is following in the footsteps of Singapore and Malaysia with plans to develop a casino industry of its own.

In January 2009 Taiwan's Legislative Yuan approved an amendment to the Offshore Islands Development Act legalizing the operation of casinos on the nation’s surrounding islands including Kinmen, Penghu, Matsu, and Orchid.  The amendment gives the green light to casino resort development on any of these islands provided local governments can win the support of at least 50% of voters in referendums on the matter.  It also provides US$901 million in promised development funds to the islands as a further enticement to go down the gambling path.

Like most other Asian countries while specific online gambling legislation doesn't exist in Taiwan it is considered, by virtue of laws with respect to gambling generally, to be illegal and is frowned upon by authorities.  However with a lack of terrestrial gambling options and a clear propensity to play casino games, online gambling has proven a popular option and enjoyed exponential growth over the few years.  One of government's motivations for developing a local casino industry is no doubt to win players back from offshore online casinos.
