English Bettors are a Third of All European Web Bettors
Tuesday, 17. November 2009
The internet betting market in the United Kingdom has increased two fold in five years, with in excess of a million punters regularly wagering via the internet. According to research administered by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, British bettors make up approximately one-third of Europe’s approximated total of 3 300 000 net gamblers.
The typical cash amount wagered by every bettor is estimated at one thousand pounds, with the European business now worth three point five billion pounds annually.
Amidst the seventy online betting casinos in the UK, few are gambling sites advertising card games such as poker and blackjack. A majority of the world’s two thousand online betting casinos are based in places with questionable web wagering codes. Antigua and Costa Rica account for more than one thousand casinos between them.
The Government in the United Kingdom is hoping to introduce practices and a tax setup to control the working of the web gambling business. With this type of regulatory framework in place, net wagering activities would be observed and the business can hope to acquire even greater heights in the near future.
