Europe Leads the Way for Online Gambling and Betting Platforms

Online gambling and betting consists of a wide range of games including poker, casino games, sports betting and also lotteries including others. The industry offers these games via a digital environment and users can play them in real time using their PCs or increasingly, their mobile devices.

The online gambling industry has expanded at a remarkably fast pace over the past 10 years or so, and this is because of a number of compelling reasons. One reason is that people are increasingly opting to gamble on the internet because this is the most convenient and cost effective medium. Another important reason is that many countries are putting laws in place to regulate internet-based gambling. Having a proper regulatory environment in place is very important for the online gambling industry. Furthermore, many well-established land based gambling operators are opting to take their businesses online.

The European markets are particularly important for the online gambling industry since operators here have taken to the industry in a big way. The Asia Pacific market trails behind it because of the lack of uniformity of regulatory regimes.
