The internet gaming market in the United Kingdom has doubled in 5 years, with greater than one million gamblers commonly wagering using the web. According to a poll conducted by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, UK gamblers make up about one-third of the Old World’s approximated total of 3 300 000 internet bettors.
The average amount spent by each bettor is estimated at one thousand pounds, with the European business now worth £3.5bn annually.
Amongst the 70 net gambling sites in the United Kingdom, few are gaming websites promoting casino card games like poker and chemin de fer. A majority of the globe’s 2,000 online wagering casinos are based in places with questionable online casino standards. Antigua and Costa Rica are responsible for for more than 1,000 casinos between them.
The Government in the United Kingdom is looking to introduce regulations and a tax setup to manage the working of the net gaming industry. With this type of laws in place, net gaming activities would be monitored and the industry can hope to achieve even greater heights in the next few years.
