What a great week it has been for the online gambling industry with some serious milestones being broken and reached by some of the major online gambling players in the industry. The first milestone reached is the fact that online gambling has grown by more than 40% in the United Kingdom. This stat is a massive positive for the online gambling environment, especially online casinos. With this growth, it is estimated that online gambling has grown more than the social media Facebook in the year 2009.
Online casinos have made huge impressions on people and with them growing at such a rapid rate the EU commission has joined forces with online companies to regulate this form of entertainment. In the United Kingdom which is the most liberal when it comes to online gambling with free speech and advertising, it makes the evolvement of online gambling a great success. With major companies doing big sponsorships with football teams around the globe, it shows that by regulating it can have a positive impact on the market.
