Uk Punters Make Up a Third of All European Net Bettors
Monday, 22. September 2008
The internet gambling industry in the United Kingdom has doubled in 5 years, with in excess of a million bettors regularly wagering using the net. According to a poll administered by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, English bettors make up approx. 1/3rd of the Old World’s approximated total of 3 300 000 online bettors.
The average cash figure bet by every punter is approximated at £1,000, with the European business now worth three point five billion pounds annually.
Among the 70 online betting casinos in the UK, none are gaming web sites promoting card games like poker and chemin de fer. A majority of the planet’s two thousand net betting casinos are located in places with dubious online gambling standards. Antigua and Costa Rica account for more than 1,000 sites between them.
The Gov’t in the United Kingdom is hoping to introduce rules and a tax setup to control the working of the online gaming sector. With such regulatory framework in place, online betting activities would be monitored and the industry will achieve even greater heights in the near future.
