The net casino market in the United Kingdom has doubled in 5 years, with higher than one million gamblers regularly gambling via the net. According to research administered by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, English bettors make up approximately one-third of Europe’s estimated total of 3 300 000 online gamblers.
The typical sum bet by every bettor is estimated at one thousand pounds, with the European business now worth £3.5bn each year.
Amidst the 70 internet gambling web sites in the UK, few are gambling websites promoting card games such as poker and black jack. A majority of the world’s 2,000 net betting sites are based in places with dubious net betting standards. Antigua and Costa Rica account for more than 1,000 casinos between them.
The Government in the United Kingdom is looking to introduce rules and a tax system to manage the functioning of the net gaming business. With such regulatory framework in place, web gambling activities would be monitored and the business can hope to achieve even greater penetration in the near future.
