Uk Punters Make Up a Third of All European Net Bettors
The net gaming business in the UK has increased two fold in 5 years, with more than one million punters commonly gambling by the internet. According to research carried out by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, British gamblers make up approximately 1/3rd of the Old World’s estimated total of three point three million internet gamblers.
The average cash amount bet by each gamer is approximated at £1,000, with the European business now worth £3 500 000 000 annually.
Amongst the seventy net betting sites in the UK, few are gaming sites advertising card games like poker and black jack. A majority of the world’s 2,000 net gambling casinos are stationed in places with questionable online wagering rules. Antigua and Costa Rica account for more than 1,000 casinos between them.
The Government in the UK is looking to introduce regulations and a tax system to manage the working of the online wagering industry. With this type of laws in place, net betting activities would be monitored and the industry can hope to achieve even bigger heights in the near future.
