British Gamblers Make Up a Third of All European Online Gamblers

The net wagering market in the United Kingdom has increased two fold in five years, with in excess of a million gamblers regularly gambling by the internet. According to a poll executed by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, English gamblers make up approx. 1/3rd of the Old World’s estimated total of 3 300 000 online gamblers.

The average sum bet by each gamer is approximated at £1,000, with the European industry now valued at three point five billion pounds annually.

Among the 70 internet gambling web sites in the UK, none are gambling websites advertising card games such as poker and chemin de fer. A majority of the planet’s 2,000 online wagering sites are stationed in places with questionable online casino standards. Antigua and Costa Rica are responsible for for more than one thousand casinos between them.

The Gov’t in the UK is hoping to introduce practices and a tax setup to legalize the functioning of the net gambling business. With such regulatory framework in place, web gaming activities would be observed and the industry can hope to achieve even greater penetration in the near future.
