The internet betting business in the United Kingdom has doubled in five years, with in excess of a million bettors regularly wagering by using the web. According to a poll conducted by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, UK bettors make up around one-third of Europe’s estimated total of three point three million internet bettors.

The average amount wagered by every punter is estimated at one thousand pounds, with the European industry now valued at three point five billion pounds each year.

Amongst the 70 internet gambling web sites in the UK, few are gambling web sites advertising casino card games like poker and chemin de fer. A majority of the planet’s two thousand online gambling sites are based in places with dubious web betting codes. Antigua and Costa Rica are responsible for for more than 1,000 casinos between them.

The Gov’t in the United Kingdom is looking to introduce rules and a tax setup to legalize the functioning of the net betting sector. With this type of laws in place, net gambling activities would be observed and the business will acquire even bigger penetration in the next few years.
