Online gambling in the UK
9 Nov 2006
There is no doubt that the UK is the biggest “winner” of the US law. The law that bans online casino operation in the US really obligated the possibilities in the States. In the British Kingdom on the other hands, it only broads the possibilities, and most of the American gamers come for online gambling to the UK sites or the US online gambling branches that the UK operates. This means, bottom line, a lot of traffic to the British websites and the largest income in the entire online gambling industry worldwide. There is no doubt that the British online casinos are now the queen of the industry.
The industry in the UK has also been seeking new routes to become even larger, for example investing in online gambling on cellular phones. They have become number two in the global online gambling list of the wagering on cellular phones. Another route that is being tried on these days is the indie cinema in the UK. Many large online gambling companies are cooperating with little indie producers: the production is financed by the online casino – and they will be published and advertised in the entire cinema facilities. Meaning some movies will be about online casinos, or some will be mention in the movie and so on.
Online gambling in the UK has always been very profitable, and one of the main sources of entertainment on the internet. After the US law, the situation had become even more profitable – with more possibilities enabled. British online gambling is now the leading part of the industry.
