The internet betting market in the United Kingdom has increased two fold in 5 years, with greater than one million gamblers regularly wagering using the net. According to research carried out by the Dept. of Culture, Media and Sport, British bettors make up around 1/3rd of the Old World’s estimated total of three point three million internet bettors.
The average amount wagered by each gamer is estimated at one thousand pounds, with the European industry now worth three point five billion pounds annually.
Amongst the 70 internet gambling web sites in the United Kingdom, few are gaming websites advertising casino card games like poker and black jack. A better part of the world’s 2,000 online betting sites are located in places with dubious online casino standards. Antigua and Costa Rica are responsible for for more than 1,000 sites between them.
The Gov’t in the United Kingdom is looking to introduce procedures and a tax system to control the operating of the online gambling sector. With such regulatory framework in place, online betting activities would be observed and the business will achieve even bigger penetration in the next few years.
