Uk Punters are a 3rd of All European Web Bettors
Thursday, 11. March 2010
The online wagering industry in the UK has doubled in five years, with more than a million punters commonly betting by using the web. According to research executed by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, United Kingdom bettors make up about 1/3rd of the Old World’s estimated total of 3 300 000 web bettors.
The typical cash amount spent by each gamer is approximated at one thousand pounds, with the European industry now valued at £3.5bn annually.
Amidst the 70 internet gambling web sites in the United Kingdom, none are gaming websites advertising card games such as poker and black jack. A majority of the world’s two thousand net wagering casinos are based in places with questionable online wagering standards. Antigua and Costa Rica are responsible for for more than 1,000 sites between them.
The Government in the United Kingdom is hoping to introduce regulations and a tax system to streamline the functioning of the web gambling business. With this type of regulatory framework in place, web gambling activities would be observed and the business will acquire even greater penetration in the next few years.
