The internet betting industry in the United Kingdom has increased two fold in five years, with higher than a million punters regularly betting over the net. According to research conducted by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, English bettors make up approximately one-third of Europe’s estimated total of three point three million internet gamblers.
The average cash amount spent by every punter is estimated at one thousand pounds, with the European sector now valued at three point five billion pounds each year.
Amidst the 70 web gambling sites in the United Kingdom, none are gaming websites advertising card games like poker and blackjack. A better part of the planet’s 2,000 online gambling casinos are stationed in locations with questionable online casino codes. Antigua and Costa Rica are responsible for for more than one thousand sites between them.
The Gov’t in the UK is looking to introduce regulations and a tax setup to streamline the operating of the internet betting business. With this type of regulatory framework in place, online gaming activities would be observed and the industry will acquire even greater heights in the next few years.
