Sunday, 29. November 2009
The online gambling business in the United Kingdom has doubled in 5 years, with more than a million gamblers commonly wagering via the internet. According to research carried out by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, English bettors make up approx. 1/3rd of the Old World’s estimated total of 3 300 000 net gamblers.
The typical amount bet by each gamer is approximated at £1,000, with the European sector now worth £3 500 000 000 annually.
Amidst the 70 net betting web sites in the UK, none are gaming websites advertising casino card games such as poker and blackjack. A majority of the world’s 2,000 web gambling casinos are based in locations with questionable net gambling regulations. Antigua and Costa Rica are responsible for for more than one thousand sites between them.
The Gov’t in the United Kingdom is hoping to introduce practices and a tax system to manage the working of the online gambling sector. With this type of laws in place, net gambling activities would be monitored and the business will achieve even greater penetration in the next few years.
